Section IV: Procedure

IV.1) Description

IV.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated procedure without prior publication

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons

Explanation:

By purchasing from the original supplier, we maintain full compatibility between the machines and can use all equipment on all machines and ensure that the collected data is in the same format from all machines. This enables us to make data analysis efficiently and safely each time. A change of supplier would induce incompatibility between the current machines and the new one, and create disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. The current machines have identical console and control programs. The operation of the machines is thus the same on all our machines. This minimizes the risk of operating errors. If we got a machine from another supplier, we would need to master and continuously keep two different sets of software updated. Approx. 10 re-search engineers and development engineers would need to attend a course and learn the new operating system to know it in detail. Knowing two steering programs in detail is extremely difficult, in particular for troubleshooting. This difference in the technical nature of two operating systems is a technical incompatibility that gives disproportionate technical difficulties. We often use our own special Lab-View programs to run the test ma-chines and other equipment (such as triggering a camera to take photos at certain times during cyclic load) in a manner that the machine's default driver software is not able to. The programs are tailor-made just to communicate with the operating system on equipment from the original supplier. If we were to get equipment from a new supplier, new versions of these drivers would need to be made, adapted to the new machine. Henceforth, we would need to make two versions of new control pro-grams. This technical difference is technically incompatible and gives rise to disproportionate technical difficulties. It will be very time-consuming and not be very cost-effective to make double versions of our own drivers.
