Section II: Object

II.1)Scope of the procurement
II.1.1)Title:

Expansion of G3Lab Bioprocess Controllers, Delta-V and Bioreactor Capability

Reference number: PR22-005
II.1.2)Main CPV code
38970000 Research, testing and scientific technical simulator
II.1.3)Type of contract
Supplies
II.1.4)Short description:

NIBRT currently has as part of its Analytics & Characterisation laboratory, 2 G3Lab controllers, one with a 7-litre glass bioreactor and one with a 3-litre glass bioreactor, acquired from Finesse in 2017, which is now part of ThermoFisher Scientific.

The company now wishes to award a contract to expand the platform into an operational 7-litre four pack and to acquire an additional 7-litre vessel, and controller together with an upgrade to the TruBio Delta-V platform to allow for additional hardware capacity. The purpose of this expansion is to support a growing volume of work in advanced process related research.

II.1.6)Information about lots
This contract is divided into lots: no
II.1.7)Total value of the procurement (excluding VAT)
Value excluding VAT: 330 000.00 EUR
II.2)Description

38970000 Research, testing and scientific technical simulator
II.2.3)Place of performance
NUTS code: IE061 Dublin
Main site or place of performance:

National Institute For Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT), Fosters Avenue, Mount Merrion, Blackrock, Co. Dublin

II.2.4)Description of the procurement:

• Finesse bioreactors produce biotherapeutics in a controlled and sterile environment.

• The mass flow controllers (MFCs) built into the G3Lab controllers allow for accurate control over the flow rate of gases entering the vessels which can have an impact on the characteristics of the product being formed.

• This control is managed through the Delta-V software.

• Aside from controlling the flow rate of gases the Delta-V software is capable of monitoring important variables within the vessel such as temperature, pH and gas concentration over time. It is important that these parameters are controlled and monitored carefully as they can have an impact on product characteristics. The signals for these parameters are sent from probes inserted into the bioreactor, attached to the G3Lab controllers and represented within Delta-V.

II.2.5)Award criteria
II.2.11)Information about options
Options: no
II.2.13)Information about European Union funds
The procurement is related to a project and/or programme financed by European Union funds: no

Section IV: Procedure

IV.1)Description
IV.1.1)Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union in the cases listed below
  • The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Explanation:

As per Article 32 of EU Directive 2014/24, NIBRT wishes to avail of the negotiated procedure without prior publication.

Explanation:

The contract can only be performed by Thermo Fisher for the following reasons, which fall under paragraph 3(b) of Article 32 of EU Directive 2014/24:

• Interoperability of the new equipment with the existing controllers and bioreactors acquired in 2017. The additional equipment is intended to be an extension of the original acquisitions. Were a different contractor and brand to be used, the equipment would have different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operations and maintenance. The original equipment would in effect require repurchase under the new brand at a significant cost to complete the proposed platform.

• Interoperability with other equipment in the Analytics & Characterisation laboratory, including the LC-MS systems.

IV.1.3)Information about framework agreement
IV.1.8)Information about the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA)
The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement: yes
