From the official record

Why no open competition: Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
Published justification: The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract —
(a) due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and
(b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works.
CAMECA is the original supplier of the NanoSIMS instrument and the only provider capable of delivering service support to the required standard, including the necessary knowledge, expertise and access to parts.
The NanoSIMS instrument is highly complex and sensitive, requiring specialist technical expertise to maintain it effectively. There are no reasonable alternative suppliers able to provide the level of support needed to ensure its continued operation for research purposes.
