Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union in the cases listed below

1.Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition in accordance with Article
32 of Directive 2014/24/ted:EU
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
absence of competition for technical reasons

3.Explanation
Please explain in a clear and comprehensive manner why the award of the contract without prior publication in the Official Journal of the European Union
is lawful, by stating the relevant facts and, as appropriate, the conclusions of law in accordance with the directive:
The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies has received funding to purchase a spectral domain OCT unit which will be used across campus in research, teaching and clinical settings.
The equipment selected is Heidelberg Engineering’s Sprectralis OCT with the flex module as it’s the only unit that meets the end users’ requirements. The flex module offers flexibility compared to other devices on the market due to its imaging unit mounted to a moveable arm. Other systems on the market are operating microscopes with an OCT built in which only allows for scanning during operations in a theatre and are primarily designed for people – where the head is brought to the machine and placed on a chin rest.
The Heidelberg Spectralis Flex is unique in its use in the Veterinary world. It was designed for patients who could not use a conventional, table-mounted system and therefore is suitable for veterinary species under general anaesthesia, or in calm, well-restrained patients on an examination table where their long noses would preclude a table-mounted device.
Other systems available on the market would severely impact and affect the neurodegenerative research where the retina is affected, and characterising posterior segment changes in natural tuberculosis infections due to the system limitations noted above.
Both of the research areas offer huge potential translational impacts, and the system would considerably increase the research capabilities of the facilities.
