Notice Information
Notice Title
Revvity Opera Phenix microscope upgrade
Notice Description
The University has a requirement to upgrade an existing Revvity (formerly Perkin-Elmer) brand advanced imaging microscope with additional cameras to achieve operational efficiencies via reduced cycle time. The cameras must work with the existing Revvity platform and provide results which are calibrated and comparable with the other Revvity cameras embedded in the original product. We deem that this is an extension of the original supplies and procuring alternatives may result in a change of supplier and receipt of supplies which could be incompatible or demonstrate disproportionate technical difficulty to utilise. As such we award via the Negotiated Procedure without prior call for competition as follows.

Procurement Information
This is an extension of a piece of equipment which is already on the estate, where alternatives would not be possible because they may have different technical characteristics or present difficulties in operation (would need to sync exactly with the rest of the Revvity software and technology and results be calibrated and comparable), therefore, considering this purchase in isolation, the application of the exception seems reasonable.
