What the notice says

Northumbria University has directly awarded a contract for a Protein Purification System to GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCES SOLUTIONS OPERATIONS UK LTD/CYTIVA. The system with bespoke technical specifications is essential for the project Sustainable Styles. The specifications include column valve configurations and integrated fraction collection which are unique to the supplier’s proprietary design. The system is compatible with UNICORN software, which is the established standard for the University's existing research workflows. Due to these specific technical requirements and the necessity of software interoperability to maintain research integrity, it has been determined that no reasonable alternative exists. An absence of competition for technical reasons has therefore been identified. To view this notice, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=1014333013
