What is being bought

Published requirement description

The existing 5 laser Fortessa is often booked to maximum capacity, resulting in long waiting times for researchers for who the capacity of the Cytoflex in its current set up is not sufficient. Additionally, the Cytoflex as it is a newer instrument easier to operate. StartUp and Calibration can be done independently of facility staff, unlike the Fortessa. This makes the Cytoflex usable out of ours and on weekends.

The laser upgrade is necessary to support the research by increasing the capacity of the facility, resulting in shorter waiting times and longer hours of availability for the researchers.

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 University of Edinburgh is looking to award a contract for the upgrade of a Beckman Coulter Cytoflex SRT to the original equipment manufacturer Beckman Coulter via the attachment of a new red laser functionality. The University is awarding this without call for competition as competition is absent for technical reasons as the upgrade is to existing equipment within the university that we have an ongoing service contract running with, and no other supplier can offer the upgrade.
