Awards of this contracting authority

Justification

Freihändige Vergabe gemäss Art. 21 Abs. 2 Bst. c BöB. Das Atera-System ist gemäss Marktanalyse (August 2026) das einzige Gerät, das das gesamte Transkriptom bildgebend in situ mit Einzelzellauflösung auf FFPE-Gewebe und Tissue Microarrays misst und dabei den für Kohortenstudien erforderlichen Durchsatz (vier Objektträger mit je über 5 cm² pro Lauf von rund einer Woche) erreicht. Das einzige weitere System mit vergleichbarer Auslesung bietet rund ein Zehntel dieses Durchsatzes und ist keine angemessene Alternative.
