Ground given for limiting competition
The buyer’s own stated reason for awarding without open competition, as published. Their assertion, not a finding.
Photonic Solutions is the exclusive distributor of Lumibird (Quantel) products within The United Kingdon and The Republic of Ireland. This statement applies to both laser systems and the associated replacement parts for these systems. Anything other than an original supplier part would place the system at risk of failure or underperformance and place a significant risk on the service company not servicing the equipment because non-original parts were used.
