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 liquid handling robot needs to be integrated into the existing facility to allow production of complex bespoke crystallisation screens in a high-throughput, fully automated and reproducible manner. The existing crystallisation facility infrastructure operates using ROCK MAKER software. Only equipment that supports the ROCK MAKER software can be seamlessly integrated into the existing facility. Competition is absent in this case as liquid handling robots for crystallisation screens that support ROCK MAKER are only available from Formulatrix.
