Tripletof 6600 System

Tender description

This mass spectrometry system will be the first platform for ultra-high-throughput proteomics in Edinburgh. As such it will enable its users in the School of Biological Sciences to conduct proteomics experiments at a scale that was not considered possible until recently. Under Regulation Reg 33(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a contracting authority may use the negotiated procedure without the prior publication in the case of a public contract, based on the following justification: Competition is absent for technical reasons (only if it is not caused by artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists).
