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: Competition is absent as the technical parameters and operating features of the proposed system make it unique amongst super-resolution, single-molecule microscopes, and will enable our research into sub-cellular responses and behaviour in health and disease.
