CSIRO is looking to increase its micro-XRF mapping capabilities to allow new exploration technologies and geological characterisation methods to be developed, and aid in key research areas. This technology is required to be able to detect elements as light at sodium (Na) and give textural information with spot sizes less than 30um within a large scanning area. This will enable these technologies to be used for rapid acquisition of textural and chemical information from unpolished rock samples and enable decisions for further microanalysis, as well as being developed into new, rapid exploration workflows. 

Subject to clause 5.7 of the RFT2022007 Head Document, Unintentional Errors of Form, CSIRO will exclude a Tenderer from further consideration and evaluation if CSIRO considers in its absolute discretion that the conditions for participation set out in this clause have not been met by the Tenderer. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this RFT, only requirements listed in this clause will be deemed conditions for participation. 

a.the Tenderer exists as a legal entity at the RFT Closing Time and Date

b.at the time of lodgement of their Tender, Tenderers must not have been:

i.precluded from tendering for Australian Government funded work or

ii.subject to a judicial decision against them relating to employee entitlements (not including decisions under appeal, and have not paid the claim

c.where the Tenderer is a Relevant Employer, the Tenderer is compliant with its obligations under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 (Cth) (the WGE Act). Further information may be found at http://www.wgea.gov.au/
