ANNEX D

1. Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition in accordance with Article 32 of Directive 2014/24/EU

No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to: Not Provided

The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the directive (for supplies only): No

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons

Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive: No

Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive: No



Procurement of supplies quoted and purchased on a commodity market: No

Purchase of supplies or services on particularly advantageous terms: No


3. Explanation
Once the tuners are installed within a cryomodule, they will be inaccessible for maintenance without extensive engineering works, causing significant downtime at great financial cost. It is for this reason that the tuner must operate reliably at temperatures of 2K for an operational period of 20 years minimum. This SSA relates specifically to the purchase of the electromechanical actuators, which perform slow/coarse tuning of the cavities.
