| Main Category: | — |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | The proposed award is a Direct Award justified under Schedule 5, Condition 6(a) and (b) of the Procurement Act 2023: This equipment is the only identified system that combines simultaneous imaging and spectral flow cytometry, advanced spectral unmixing, and high-throughput automated sample acquisition in a single platform. These capabilities are essential to support APHA's bovine immunology research programme and the development of advanced multi-parameter assays. No reasonable alternative has been identified that provides this complete combination of capabilities required to meet APHA's scientific and operational needs. Procuring an alternative that does not offer this combination compromises data quality, research efficiency and confidence in scientific outputs |
