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:

After market researcher we have found out that Photon Spot is the only company that can provide detectors with simultaneously wide detection bandwidth (780-900 nm), high quantum efficiency >85 % and low dark count rate < 1 Hz, which are the requirements of our experiments.
