Show full summary

This tender, issued by Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau (Germany), seeks the design and construction of a load and automation system for an engine test bench. The contract is a single-lot, open procedure for supplies, with a very short submission deadline (June 9, 2026). No estimated value is provided. The award is based 30% on price, 70% on quality criteria including performance, delivery time, maintenance, and warranty. The tender is published in German only, and the buyer is EU-funded according to structured data (though XML notice contradicts this). Key requirements include precise technical specifications for load devices, torque measurement, speed detection, shaft connection, and data acquisition. The lack of disclosed value, incomplete procurement documents, and extremely tight deadline pose significant risks.
