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: No reasonable alternative exists for this procurement The Clarity LIMS system is exclusively available from Illumina. It is the only commercially available LIMS system that is specifically
designed for exactly this type of complex next-generation sequencing workflow/dataflow. It is completely integrated with the Illumina reagent kits and instrument systems that are part
of the ALMS contract. This system is essential for delivery of the SARS-CoV-2 Pathogen Sequencing service. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of
the parameters of the procurement.
