Description

This tender, originating from Germany and published via the TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) platform, seeks specialized development services for hardware components related to a Centralized Warning System (CWS). The contracting authority, managed by the Publications Office of the European Union, is looking to procure the development of a Sliding Bearing Condition Monitoring System (CMS) based on SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) technology.

The procurement encompasses the complete lifecycle of hardware development, from initial concept and design through to prototyping and potential small-scale production readiness. Bidders are expected to demonstrate a strong track record in the design and implementation of sensor-based monitoring systems, with particular expertise in SAW technology and its application in industrial environments. Key requirements will likely include the ability to design robust and reliable hardware, develop effective data acquisition and processing capabilities, and ensure compatibility with existing or planned CWS infrastructure. Experience in the development of systems for monitoring mechanical components, such as sliding bearings, is a significant advantage.

The successful bidder will be responsible for delivering a fully functional and documented hardware solution that meets stringent performance and reliability standards. Further details regarding technical specifications, delivery timelines, and evaluation criteria will be provided in the full tender documentation.
