- 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 cyclotron has been manufactured, installed and maintained for a number of years by GE Healthcare. Given the highly specialist nature of the equipment and risks associated with it, only GE Healthcare personnel have the knowledge and competence to make any adjustment, maintenance or repairs. Effective maintenance of the cyclotron requires a supplier with access to the associated software, replacement parts and consumable items that are produced/provided by GE Healthcare. In addition, from time to time components become End-Of-Life and can no longer be maintained, and GE Healthcare are continually developing replacement components, along with their integration. For the reasons above, technically it is not possible for any supplier other than GE Healthcare to safely and reliably maintain the cyclotron.
