Details

For the activities at the soft x-ray beamline ADRESS 2.0 of the Swiss Light Source 2.0 (SLS 2.0) at the Paul Scherrer Institute a new experimental ultra-high-vacuum Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) instrument, consisting of a RIXS spectrometer and a RIXS sample chamber, is required. The ADRESS 2.0 beamline covers an energy range from 250 eV to 1700 eV with variable polarization control. The RIXS spectrometer needs to be designed to allow the possibility of being lifted by air-pads and rotated around the RIXS sample chamber on a granite floor with a range of ≥130 deg.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this energy & power opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
