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

Purchase of alternative instruments and associated reagents & consumables would incur significant costs and involve delay to testing as additional extensive validation work would need to be undertaken before use.
