  3. Subject of the contract
    1. The subject of the contract is the presentation of research results in two scientific publications, taking into account topics in the area of:
      1. Analyzes of necessary and sufficient conditions for the causal transmission of information in globally hyperbolic space-times using multiparticulate carriers (publication no. 1).
      2. Development of a formalism for the transmission of information in globally hyperbolic journals, taking into account the possibility of active intervention by local observers (Publication No. 2).

Scientific research is carried out as part of the  implementation of the Maestro UMO- 2021/42 / A / ST2 / 0035, financed by the National Science Center.

  1. The scope of this contract includes the following research activities:
    • an in-depth review of the literature related to the subject of the study,
    • establishing of a mathematical formalism for information transfer in globally hyperbolic spacetimes,
    • investigation of necessary and sufficient conditions for operational no-signalling in spacetime,
    • analysis of the impact of local interventions on causality of the information transfer,
    • investigation of the causality aspects of multi-particle correlations and their dynamics,
    • preparation of the  scientific publication including the description of the analyzes carried out, the methods used, results discussions and research results.
  2. The subject of the contract must be performed taking into account the highest European quality standards for conducting scientific research described in „The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity”, available from: https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/other/hi/h2020-ethics_code-of-conduct_en.pdf, and the final report must be full-fledged (original, unique, present a new contribution to knowledge in a given field) and free from any legal defects.
  3. The Contracting party undertakes to provide all materials necessary to complete the subject of the contract, including access to scientific publications and computer or specialized software, at his own cost and risk.
  4. The Awarding Entity accepts to prepare of the report (developed as part of the contract) only in the English language.
Contract award procedure participation terms
  1. In accordance with the terms of the financing agreement, Contractors that may participate in the contract award procedure are those who have the necessary knowledge and experience in the field of the subject of the contract (natural person), i.e., the Contractor must meet all of the following conditions jointly:
  • PhD degree in physics, mathematics or computer science,
  • have experience documented by at least three (3) international publications on the JCR list (Journal Citation Report) in the field of:
    • Relativistic physics,
    • Causality,
    • Measure theory and spacetime geometry.
  • Have at least an advanced level of English (the language level will be verified during the interview).
  1. Assessment of compliance with the above conditions will be made in accordance with the formula “meets - does not meet”, based on information contained in the documents listed above. The content of the attached documents must clearly show that the abovementioned conditions are met by the Contractor.
  2. In the event of submitting incomplete documentation regarding confirmation of the fulfillment of the condition for participation in the contract award procedure, the Contracting Authority may request the Contractor to supplement them, if the Contractor fails to complete the documentation within the specified deadline, the offer is deemed incomplete and the condition is not met.
  3. Failure to meet even one of the abovementioned conditions will result in the Contractor’s exclusion from the procedure. The Contractor may be excluded from the procedure at any stage of the contract award procedure.
Grounds for exclusion from the contract award procedure

Excluded from the contract award procedure shall be Contractors who:

  • do not meet the conditions;
  • do not meet the conditions for participation in the contract award procedure regarding the submission of the required documentation (incomplete offer);
  • submitted an offer after the deadline;
  • performed activities directly related to the preparation of the contract award procedure or used to prepare the offer with persons participating in these activities, unless the participation of these contractors does not hinder the fair competition;
  • submitted false information affecting the outcome of the contract award procedure.
Offer preparation method
  1. The offer must be prepared using the form which constitutes Appendix 1 of the Request for offers - “Offer Form”.
  2. The content of the submitted offer must be consistent with the Request for offers and it must include all of the required documents and declarations indicated in the Section III. The Contractor shall submit with the offer:
  • A declaration of the compliance with the requirements indicated in Section III, which constitutes Appendix 2 of the Request for offers;
  • Documents (scans or certified true copies) confirming the qualifications held by the person indicated by the Contractor to perform the subject of the contract, in particular:
    • a CV;
    • PhD degree in physics, mathematics or computer science (diploma);
    • three (3) international publications on the JCR list (Journal Citation Report) to the extent indicated in Section III, paragraphs 1;

Offer evaluation criteria and method
  1. In selection the best offer the Awarding Entity shall evaluate the “Gross total price” criterion for the total gross prices of the subject of the contract supplied by the Contractor in the Offer Form.
  2. The score for this criterion shall be calculated as follows: Score granted to the evaluated offer =  [(Lowest offer price) / (Evaluated offer price)] x 100
  3. The score will be expressed with the accuracy of up to two decimal places.
