Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation
The reagents / kits used in the laboratory equipment must be from the same supplier and is not uncommon to require the OEM supplies for dedicated laboratory equipment. It must be noted that should the test kits / equipment change in mid-study, this would require protocol amendments and dialogue with regulatory agencies to inform on protocol changes and study deviations. This would lead to delays in results as new impact assessments would need to be made detailing the change and gaining the relevant regulatory approvals for a change in support and must mirror those same products used before in order to maintain continuity of test data otherwise, we risk introducing potential ambiguity into the test data results.
