InformaTION ON THE SUBJECT OF PERFORMANCE AND ITS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Assumed value in CZK excl. VAT: CZK258,000.00

The subject matter of performance is the delivery of software for analysis and 3D reconstruction of image.

Requirements for software:

  • software must enable a wider spectrum of alternative algorithms for volume drawing of 3D (xyz) and 4D (xyzt) digital microscopic data files
  • software must enable surface representation of microscopic volume objects and their reduction to model structures based on image segmentation
  • software must enable work with capacious data files (hundreds of MBs or GBs). The software should enable effectivization of usage of a large number of processors in one PC (CPU multithreading).
  • software must enable opening of and work with a spectre of digital image formats as wide as possible, or digital formats of image series. It must allow work with files in the 8-, 16- a 32-bit formats. Specifically, it is important for the software to enable work with files of types ICS/IDS, .ND2, .lsm and Huygens and Huygens compatible Nikonformat.
  • software must enable editing, calibration, complex animation and storing digital video sequences in standard formats, at least in formats QuickTime, AVI and MPEG
  • software must enable statistical analyses, classification, sorting and filtration of 3D objects. Results of these analyses must be exportable into standard digital formats used by table editors.
  • software must enable creation and export of completely annotated graphic schemes for publication purposes.
  • software must be extendable for 4D tracking of volume objects and identification and sorting filamentous structures in microscopic images.
  • one licence for PC installation with OS Windows 64-bit is enquired.

The contractor states that the abovementioned titles or names have no influence on exclusion of any suppliers; accordingly, this is not a discriminative description. The contractor declares that he requires compatibility with these formats and systems; for this reason the abovementioned titles or names are given (for example Nikon, Huygens a Huygens, QuickTime, OS Windows 64-bit).

  1. QUALIFICATION PREREQUISITES

General rules for demonstrating qualification

Qualification as per the following requirements must be demonstrated for the reason of evaluation and assessment of the tenderer’s offer in the present tendering procedure.

The supplier is not entitled to demonstrate the fulfilment of qualification as per clause 5 a) hereof through a subcontractor.

b)In case the subject of the public tender is to be performed jointly by several suppliers, who submit or intend to submit a joint offer for this purpose, each of the suppliers must demonstrate the fulfilment of basic qualification prerequisites and the professional qualification prerequisite (to submit an abstract from the Trade Register) to the full extent. Furthermore, such suppliers are obligated to submit - together will documents proving the fulfilment of qualification prerequisites - a contract which includes the obligation that all such suppliers submitting a joint offer will be bound jointly and severally towards the contractor and third persons from any legal relations formed in connection with the public tender, particularly for the whole period of the performance of the public tender and for the duration of other obligations resultant from the public tender.

c)Documents required to demonstrate the fulfilment of qualification are submitted by tenderers in copies as a part of the original offer. Upon the contractor’s request, the selected tenderer is obligated to present to the contractor originals or certified originals of documents demonstrating qualification fulfilment, prior to concluding the contract. Where the contractor requires a statutory declaration, such statutory declaration must be signed by the statutory body or a person expressly commissioned to do so by the statutory body. For these purposes, the contractor establishes that the signature of this person need not be authenticated. However, in such a case, the original authorization or its authenticated copy must be included in the documents which demonstrate the fulfilment of qualification.

d)If, for objective reasons, tenderers are not able to prove the fulfilment of economic, financial and technical qualification prerequisites by methods determined in the individual items, they may prove such prerequisites by means of other equivalent documents, unless the contractor refuses such documents for objective reasons.

e)Unless implied in special legal regulations otherwise, a foreign tenderer proves qualification fulfilment in accordance with the legal order valid in the country of his registered office, place of business or residence. In case a certain document is not issued according to this legal order, a foreign tenderer is obligated to demonstrate the fulfilment of such part of qualification by a statutory declaration.
