Why no open competition: Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification: Single supplier - technical reasons
MEGIN Oy is the only supplier/maintenance provider for this equipment that could be identified. MEG is a niche method of brain scanning and as such it is placed in a very niche market.
Each MEG is unique as the technology utilised differs between
different MEG scanners. It is therefore not feasible to have the equipment serviced by another manufacturer as they may not have the expertise (or indeed equipment) required.
