A new international scientific research centre facility FAIR (Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research) is under constructed next to the existing GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research. FAIR will provide antiproton and ion beams of unprecedented intensity and quality.
One of the essential parts of FAIR will be the Heavy Ion Synchrotron (SIS)100. High current Extraction Septa 2 and 3 magnets are components of the SIS100, which will be powered by 2 power converters. The current in the magnets must be ramped up to 13000 A with an absolute accuracy of 100 ppm. The maximum output voltage is of up to 100V. These power converters will be feed by 20kV supply system.

In Table 4.1 of the Detailed Specification, ANNEX 3, the specified maximum available installation space for the power converters is to be understood as a preliminary guideline. Deviations from this requirement may be acceptable under certain circumstances and can be discussed during the negotiation phase, if necessary.

2 power converters

The applicants are made aware of the legal meaning of § 160, para. 3 of the German Act Against Restraints of Competition, particularly its no. 4.
§ 160 Introduction, Application

(1) The public procurement tribunal shall initiate review procedures only upon application.
(2) Every undertaking which has an interest in the contract and claims that its rights under § 97 para. 7 were violated by non-compliance with the provisions governing the awarding of public contracts has the right to file an application. In doing so, it must be shown that the undertaking has suffered a loss, or may be about to suffer a loss, in consequence of the alleged violation of provisions governing the awarding of public contracts.
(3) The application is inadmissible, if

1. the applicant became aware of the violation of provisions governing the awarding of public contracts during the award procedure and did not object to the contracting entity without undue delay.

2. violations of provisions governing the awarding of public contracts which become apparent from the tender notice are not notified to the contracting entity by the end of the period specified in the notice for the submission of a tender or application.

3. violations of provisions governing the awarding of public contracts which only become apparent from the award documents are not notified to the contracting entity by the end of the period specified in the notice for the submission of a tender or application.

4. more than 15 calendar days have expired since receipt of notification from the contracting entity that it is unwilling to redress the complaint.
Sentence 1 shall not apply to an application under § 101b (1) no. 2 to have the award contract declared ineffective. § 101a para. 1 sentence 2 shall remain unaffected.

Communication with Candidates takes place via the DTVP's tender platform. Questions must be sent to FAIR via DTVP and will are answered via DTVP. Questions posed orally or by telephone regarding the documents or the contractual object will not be answered; answers given orally or by telephone are not binding.

The only form of submission of participation applications accepted by Awarding Authority is in writing, electronically

Note: In Writing, Electronically

Participation applications shall be submitted electronically within the deadline via the German awarding platform DTVP.

The forms and other documents to be completed, provided by FAIR, may be
- either completed on the online tendering tool under the section "Documents to Be Completed" or
- created and compiled separately by Candidate together with the other components of the participation application or tender (concepts or explanations etc.), then uploaded under the heading "Own Documents".
However, Candidates should not fill in the forms online and upload them again separately, as this can result in transmission errors and increases the workload on both sides.
In order to comply with the text form (in writing) according to § 126b BGB [transl.: German Civil Code] when submitting participation applications, Candidates must provide the following information:
- In the case of natural persons, the full name (first name and surname) must be given (name of the declaring person in the participation application form).
- In the case of legal entities and commercial companies and corporations, the name of the company and its legal form must be stated. In addition, the full name of the employee who is submitting the participation application on behalf of the company (name of the declaring person in the participation application form) must be stated. The insertion of a company logo is not sufficient.
- In the case of Bidding Consortia, the declaring person according to § 126b BGB shall be the employee of the leading member who submits the participation application on behalf of the Bidding Consortium; besides, the form "Bidding Consortium Declaration" must be submitted.
It should be noted that in the case of electronic submission, the text form according to § 126b BGB is only observed if the participation applications are transmitted in encrypted form via the awarding platform (cf. information on eVergabe). Submitting the participation application via email is not sufficient.
In the case of incorrect/ incomplete information that violates the aforementioned formal requirements, participation applications will be excluded unless Candidate cannot be held responsible (§ 57 para. 1 nr. 1, para. 3 VgV).

GSI/FAIR reserves the right to make a one-off additional request for documents within a period to be specified in the additional request letter in accordance with § 56 VgV.
However, applicants cannot rely on a subsequent request. Ultimately incomplete requests to participate will be excluded (§ 57 Para. 1 No. 2, Para. 3 VgV).
