Software-as-a-Service, consisting of Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), Bioregistration & Sample Tracking, Workflow & Results Management, and Molecular Biology.

DTU Biosustain — The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability is an independent research-only unit at DTU focused on developing world leading microbial and mammalian cell factories for production of chemicals and proteins. DTU Biosustain has a strong translational mission aimed at industrial collaborations, spin outs and licensing.

The intended procurement is for Software-as-a-Service, consisting of Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), Bioregistration & Sample Tracking, Workflow & Results Management, and Molecular Biology. This purchase includes the setup of a virtual private cloud (VPC), workflow discovery, configuration, on-site training, and ongoing support.

An academic site license will be available to all users at the center and it’s international affiliates. Named user licenses with extended functionality will be available to all users within the units of Translational Biology.

This combined contract with the acquisition of a software package and subsequent adaption and roll out services will enable the center to reduce the design-build-test-learn cycle for cell factory development significantly.

Benchling is the only integrated R&D software platform that meets the needs for the development of cell factories. It includes a Molecular Biology suite that is integrated with an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) as well as a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) including modules like Bioregistry,Workflow & Results Management.

All modules are seamlessly integrated which reduces both errors made in transferring information from one system to another and the time and effort that it takes to keep multiple systems synchronized.

Benchling is completely cloud-based and therefore accessible by all international research sites that are associated with the Center. Benchling is also fully end-user configurable, and integratable, meaning you don't have to maintain on-premise servers and aren't dependent on the vendor to make configuration changes. Instead, Benchling's point-and-click end-user configuration enables flexibility as workflows change and develop. In addition, Biosustain's internal development group can easily integrate any instrument using Benchling's completely exposed REST APIs without the need for vendor involvement. Beyond instrument integration, the REST API is very comprehensive.

Benchling includes an ELN that makes it very easy for scientists to capture unstructured data that can be searched electronically and shared with other users. In addition, it allows users to configure data structures, enabling the capturing of structured data that can be queried, analyzed and compared downstream. This is all possible without having access to LIMS functionality.

The foundation of Benchling LIMS is a biologically intelligent registration system. This means you can directly register and view nucleotide and amino acid sequences from your LIMS, as well as build advanced constraints that are specific to sequences as a data type (for example, only allow proteins to link to DNA sequences when the protein is a valid translation of the DNA sequence). Beyond that, you can design and analyze sequences directly in your LIMS. Benchling offers native tools for “in silico” cloning, primer design, sequence analysis, alignments, and generation of libraries via combinatorial assembly. The seamless integration of the Molecular Biology suite is especially important for cell factory development and a very unique feature.

Pursuant to Danish Act on The Complaints Board for Public Procurement (Act nº 492 of 12.5.2010 with subsequent amendments — available at www.retsinformation.dk), the following time limits for filing a complaint apply: Complaints must be filed with The Complaints Board for Public Procurement within:

1) 45 calendar days after the contracting authority has published a contract award notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (with effect from the day following the publication date);

2) 30 calendar days starting the day after the Contracting Authority has informed the tenderers in question, that the contracting authority has entered into a contract based on a framework agreement through reopening of competition or a dynamic purchasing system, provided that the notification includes a short account of the relevant reasons for the decision;

3) 6 months starting the day after the Contracting Authority has sent notification to the candidates/tenderers involved that the Contracting Authority has entered into the framework agreement, cf. § 2(2) or § 171(4) of the Act on Public Procurement, provided that the notification included a short account of the relevant reasons for thedecision;

4) 20 calendar days starting the day after the Contracting Authority has published a notice concerning his decision to uphold the contract, cf. § 185 (2) of the Act on Public Procurement. The complainant must inform the contracting authority of the complaint in writing at the latest simultaneously with the lodge of the complaint to The Complaints Board for Public Procurement stating whether the complaint has been lodged in the standstill period, cf. § 6(4) of the Act on The Complaints Board for Public Procurement. If the complaint has not been lodged in the stand-still period, the complainant must also state whether it is requested that the appeal is granted delaying effect, cf. § 12(1) of the said Act. The email of The Complaints Board for Public Procurement is stated in section VI.4.1. The Complaints Board for Public Procurement’s own guidance note concerning complaints is available at the internet address stated in Section VI.4.1.
