## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, UK, has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Supply, Delivery and Commissioning of 4 Automated Crystallisation Platforms" in the education industry category. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to Technobis Crystallization Systems for a value of 453,640 EUR on December 21, 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, especially those in the manufacturing and technology sector, to compete for providing automated crystallisation platforms to the University. The University sought specific technical requirements for integration, aiming for compatibility with existing systems. Businesses offering innovative solutions with capabilities in areas like chemical reactions and solubility curve determination could find this tender suitable for their expertise and growth.

## Notice

This award notice relates to a supply contract for the supply, delivery and commissioning of 4 Automated Crystallisation Platforms for the Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation (CMAC) Hub. This contract has been awarded under Regulation 33 (1) (b) (ii) as the Unviersity has awarded this public contract following the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice. Justification for this intention together with full details of the intended contract are included within this notice.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract has been entered into with Technobis Crystallization Systems B.V. It is a contract for supply of Four (4) Automated Crystallisation platforms for the Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation (CMAC). This contract was subject to a VEAT Notice dispatched on 08/12/2023 informing interested parties of the intention to enter into contract.

Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.

### Procurement Information

The Unviersity on behalf of the Continuos Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation (CMAC) Hub has awarded a contract with Technobis Crystallization Systems B.V to provide 4 automated crystallisation platforms. The equipment needs to be the same as the existing Technobis Crystallizations System units that CMAC already have on site to ensure compatibility to enable these units to be used as part of an integrated platform. In order to facilitate integration of the units, CMAC required identical geomerics (for purposes of pick and place robotics), identical control software and interfaces (for automation and control integration) and identical conditions and sensors (to generate consistent data to inform model development). It is essential that the equipment can integrate with the existing equipment on site to create an integrated platform as noted above. Technobis Crystallization Systems B.V offer the technical requirements necessary for integration in their automated crystallisation platform. An alternative solution offering different technical characteristics would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation. Therefore competition is absent for technical reasons. It should also be noted that the system is evidenced to have a unique capability as evidenced by the following patents: 1) WO2010082817, EP2376216; Stir system and a method for providing a chemical reaction. 2) WO2007035087, EP1934587; System and method for solubility curve and metastable zone determination.
