| Notice Type: | Award notice |
| Buyer: | ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH AGENCY |
| Main Category: | Goods |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | The direct award is justified under Section 41 and Schedule 5, paragraph 6 of the Procurement Act 2023, on the basis that, due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only Bruker UK Limited can supply the goods required and no reasonable alternative or substitute has been identified. This is because the requirement must remain compatible with APHA's existing MALDI Biotyper® platform, accredited procedures and validated laboratory workflows. The direct award is necessary to maintain continuity of diagnostic and research capability and to avoid the significant validation, implementation costs and operational risks associated with introducing an alternative system. |
