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 Odyssey M provides all the scanning functions that have been lost due to relocation of predecessor systems, plus the ability to multiplex more than two antibodies simultaneously and scan microscope slides, and also perform analyses in the visual fluorescence spectrum in addition to near infra-red - I believe this is unique to this piece of equipment.
