Why no open competition

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons

Published justification

The maintenance of the equipment includes software licences required to allow the equipment to carry out accurate and recordable sequencing. Due to its highly technical nature only Illumina (the OEM) can provide the required services.
