Legal Justification
The required consumables are proprietary to Covaris equipment and are protected by intellectual property rights. Covaris, as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), is the only supplier authorised to manufacture and supply these specific consumables. No third-party suppliers are permitted to produce equivalent products due to these exclusive rights, and therefore competition is not possible.The consumables are specifically designed for use with existing Covaris equipment and must meet strict technical compatibility requirements. No alternative products are available that can provide the same level of compatibility, performance, and reliability without risk to equipment functionality or results. As a result, only Covaris can supply suitable consumables, making this a single supplier procurement due to technical reasons.
Other Information
The consumables are proprietary to Covaris equipment and are specifically designed to be fully compatible with existing systems in use. Due to this proprietary nature, Covaris is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only supplier able to provide suitable consumables. There are no equivalent third-party alternatives available that meet the required technical specifications without posing risks to equipment performance, reliability, or warranty. As a result, this procurement has been undertaken on a single supplier basis to ensure continuity of service, maintain system integrity, and support ongoing laboratory operations. ** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. **
