Public Procurement Act Section 80, litra 3 and 4 - Only one supplier: The robotic welding system can only be supplied by Inrotech because it is the only known commercial supplier of a system with similar specifications. Since SDU first planned a multi-robot gantry system in 2020, periodic market research yielded that many solutions for robotic welding are available in the market. However, i) the required level of integration and control of robotic welding tools as easily exchangeable units, and ii) the required support and coordination with a highly agile / highly mobile and autonomous robotic welding systems yielded only Inrotech as a supplier with the proven experience and know-how of providing all components as required

There is an objective and proportionate reason for the establishment of specifications which result in there being only one supplier. The possibility that there are other potential suppliers who could deliver the same has been objectively excluded by market consultations.
