Only companies that meet the requirements at the market survey stage will be invited to tender. It is very difficult (and many times not possible at all) to include a company at the call for tender stage if they have not responded at the market survey stage. Deadline to return information by post: 19th March 2010 CERN wishes to conclude a blanket purchase order contract for bare PCB’s (Printed Circuit Boards) with a total estimated volume of 900’000 CHF over a 3-year period an which can be extended twice for a one year period. CERN reserves the right to split and award contracts to more than one contractor. This does not constitute a commitment by CERN as to the quantities of PCB’s finally ordered.
