Coverage: 230 active published awards; 205 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

    Competition is absent for technical reasons, but only where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.

Procedure rationaleThe Axiom platform is the only instrument capable of providing medium-high throughput electrophysiological MEA recordings in a 96-well plate format simultaneously. It is the only platform that offers electrode recording with integrated optogenetic stimulation. Further, the company pairs with external companies to customise MEA plates and applications, and offer an "MEA creator" kit that allows groups to develop their own MEA plates and systems - an option that is not available for other platforms.
