Planning and rationale

No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleThere are no other 2d Xray sensors available which can be fitted and fully integrated with the existing machinery. The proposed 2D X-ray sensor upgrade is an extension to a highly specialised PhenoScort seed-sorting platform purchased 12 months ago and can only be supplied by the original provider because it must integrate with proprietary software, patented technology, and existing machine architecture. A change of supplier would create incompatibility, require significant re-engineering and re-validation, and result in disproportionate technical difficulties and costs
