Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (in the cases listed in Section 2 of Annexes D1, D2 or D3 as appropriate)
Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in the OJEU in accordance with Directive 2004/18/EC
No tenders or no suitable tenders in response to: open procedure
The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the Directive: yes
The works/goods/services can be provided only by a particular tenderer for reasons that are: technical
Other justification for the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the OJEU
The contract falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
According to the European Parliament and Council Directive No. 2004/18 / EC, Article 31. 1, point b, the University of Copenhagen believes that the refrigerators are designed to allow sample interchange using a common set of sample holders (“pucks”) that connect directly into the cryogenic environment via a load-lock system. This feature requires self-closing baffles that block radiation at 60, 4 and 0.8 Kelvin, and the integration of such a system and dilution refrigerators with superconducting, cryofree, large-bore, three-axes vector magnets. It also requires self-mating, high-density, low-frequency and high-frequency connectors that operate at cryogenic temperatures and in high magnetic fields. Such a system has to date only been demonstrated by Oxford Instruments. Each component was developed in close collaboration with our lab, over a period of several years. Several patents are associated with this system, the most recent being Patent Pending 1019530.3 and 1108605.5. In addition to these technical requirements, the only way to ensure compatibility of the existing 7 refrigerators with the 4 new refrigerators is to manufacture them by Oxford Instruments. We therefore require that Oxford Instruments be the selected vendor.Patent information and description for the loadlock sample exchange:US Patent No. 13/257032JP Patent No. 2012-500303GB Patent No. WO2010/106309GB Patent No 1113844.3 System must incorporate top loading sample exchange with sample in vacuum using load lock sample puck. Wiring to sample puck must be heatsunk to dilution refrigerator low temperature plates and not on fixed top loading probe. Suitable radiation baffles should be permanently mounted on the dilution insert.According to the European Parliament and Council Directive No. 2004/18 / EC, Article 31. 2, point b, University of Copenhagen is convinced that the mutual compatibility of all of the fridges is something that is required for the laboratory. Specifically, how the samples are loaded into the refrigerator must be the same for all refrigerators so that the samples can be moved in between fridges. The patented method in seven existing fridges needs to be matched by the new ones.

VI.2) Additional information:
The Center for Quantum Devices research: How to create, control, measure, and protect quantum coherence and entanglement in solid-state electronic devices are the main themes of QDev. Established by the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF), the Center for Quantum Devices opened 1.6.2012 in the H.C. Ørsted Institute, bldg. D, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. This building is also home to the Nano-Science Center.
In addition to being a DNRF 'Center of Excellence', QDev is part of the Condensed Matter Physics group at the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI), which means that several of its staff are permanent faculty members at the NBI, cooperating on the delivery of the physics and nano-science curriculum at the bachelor's and master's level, and contributing to the overall teaching and research aims of the NBI.
