Legal Justification
Competition is absent for technical reasons, but only where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. The Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine is a unique technology which is designed specifically for the large-scale training problems and inference tasks the University of Edinburgh will utilise this equipment for.
