			<cbc:ProcessReason languageID="DEU">Auf Grundlage der durchgeführten Marktsondierung sowie der fachlichen Bewertung wurde festgestellt, dass kein alternativer Anbieter die für das Vorhaben erforderliche integrierte Leistungskette in der geforderten Form vollständig abbilden kann. Eine funktionale Gleichwertigkeit der geprüften Alternativen ist nicht gegeben.  Die Aufteilung der Leistung auf mehrere Auftragnehmer würde zu methodischen Brüchen innerhalb der Versuchskette und zu einer Beeinträchtigung der wissenschaftlichen Datenqualität führen. Die Anforderungen des Vorhabens erfordern daher eine durchgängige und eng gekoppelte Leistungserbringung durch einen einzigen Auftragnehmer.  Die Voraussetzungen für die Vergabe im Verhandlungsverfahren ohne Teilnahmewettbewerb gemäß § 14 Abs. 4 Nr. 2 VgV liegen vor.</cbc:ProcessReason>
