Why no open competition: The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
Published justification: We currently own an ALOXTEC system that was purchased in 2017. It was purchased as a 4” capable system but was upgraded to a 150mm capability following a period of joint development between ALOXTEC (formerly AET) and the ICS. We need to upgrade this system to handle 200mm wafers to continue with our research output and collaboration with our industry partners.
