Having 2 equivalent 4-laser systems will allow the facility to maximise the use during working hours, reducing the need for out-of-hours bookings due to high demand.

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 purchase consists of 2 units, one of which is an upgrade to an existing instrument which will be traded in. The University requires consistency in data output, including for clinical trials, with the new equipment providing higher quality output and further capacity with a second unit. The supplier is the exclusive reseller in the UK, and the only one that can provide this equipment.
