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: We require a new laser producing ultrashort laser pulses for the School of Chemistry. We require wavelength tunability, so we will also purchase a non-collinear parametric amplifier (NOPA) as an add-on to the laser. The new generation of laser systems are only supplied by Light Conversion (which are distributed by Photonics Solutions in the UK), Spectra-Physics, and Coherent.
