2.1 Procedure

Titel: Gas controlled biofoundry

Beskrivelse: Strict anaerobic microorganisms (species that cannot survive exposure to oxygen or\n ambient at-mospheric conditions) have great potential in green biotechnologies. They\n have unique capabilities to convert C1 gasses (such as carbon dioxide, methane and\n carbon monoxide) into stored energy (in the form of ethanol and hydrocarbons), proteins\n (for food and other applications) and other industrial bulk chemicals (such as acetone).

The\n development of cell factories and strains has been accelerated by the integration\n of AI and machine learning tools in a concept known as a biofoundry. In a biofoundry\n the generation and characterization of high numbers (100-1000) of strains in parallel\n serves as input data to a model which is then able to describe the next set of designs\n to test (the classic Design-Build-Test-Learn cycle). Generating high numbers of strains\n necessitates the use of laboratory automation and liquid handling.

We are\n looking to significantly expand our capabilities in bioengineering and cultivation\n of strict anaerobic microorganisms by developing an anaerobic biofoundry.

The\n building of an anaerobic biofoundry has significant technical challenges due to the\n requirement that strains are protected from both exposure to ambient atmospheric gas\n and oxygen. The large size and maintenance requirements of liquid handling platforms\n poses further technical challenges, as these must be fully enclosed in an anaerobic\n environment, while still having the ability to supply fresh tips and other consumables.\n In addition, anaerobic conditions may affect the performance of liquid handling units\n as these are generally not tested for functionality under anaerobic conditions. Further,\n there are challenges in decontamination of these systems, as there is limited access\n to surfaces for manual disinfection and cleaning.

We are therefore seeking\n a platform that can perform automated engineering (transformation, plat-ing, colony\n picking etc) of microbial strains under anaerobic conditions. In addition, it should\n have the capability to cultivate these strains under gas controlled conditions and\n allow removal of the sealed cultures for analytical analysis without perturbing the\n ongoing experiments. This should all be accomplished

Værdien af alle kontrakter tildelt i denne bekendtgørelse: 1.086.642 US-dollar

Direkte tildeling:

Begrundelse for direkte tildeling: Kontrakten kan kun tildeles af en bestemt økonomisk aktør på grund af manglende konkurrence af tekniske årsager

Anden begrundelse: LanzaTech is the only company that has successfully built a functional anaerobic biofoundry\n with the capability to do automated engineering on strict anaerobic microbes as well\n as cultivation under controlled gas conditions.

A market survey showed that\n while there are companies that can make large custom anaerobic chambers none of these\n have demonstrated integration with capability to cultivate strains under gas-controlled\n conditions.

Of the 40 members of the Global Biofoundry Alliance (Home | Global\n Biofoundries Alliance) only 2 have the capability to perform automated strain engineering\n under anaerobic conditions (Agile Bio-foundry, and ExFAB) and these do not have any\n capability to perform cultivation under gas con-trolled conditions.

Given\n the complex technical challenges, it is a requirement that we purchase the services\n from someone who has demonstrated the ability to do this.

Based on this,\n it is DTU’s assessment that there is basis for a direct award due to lack of competi-tion\n for technical reasons, cf. § 80, subsection 3, no. 2.

Value of all contracts awarded in this notice: 1.086.642 US dollar

Direct award:

Justification for direct award: The contract can be provided only by a particular economic operator because of an absence of competition for technical reasons

Other justification: LanzaTech is the only company that has successfully built a functional anaerobic biofoundry\n with the capability to do automated engineering on strict anaerobic microbes as well\n as cultivation under controlled gas conditions.

A market survey showed that\n while there are companies that can make large custom anaerobic chambers none of these\n have demonstrated integration with capability to cultivate strains under gas-controlled\n conditions.

Given\n the complex technical challenges, it is a requirement that we purchase the services\n from someone who has demonstrated the ability to do this.
