Dear Sir/Madam
We are instructed by our clients Pacific Biosciences of California Inc who are in receipt of a notice of Opposition dated 29.04.2024, relating to the University of Tartu and a challenge that has been raised by Oxford Nanopore Technologies plc. This notification was only received by our clients today, at which point they immediately forwarded it to us for review.
Our clients are keen to engage in this matter and have asked us to support them in appointing Counsel in Estonia, with appropriate expertise in local procurement law. Unfortunately having contacted a number of local firms with whom we have longstanding relationships, it has become clear that due to a local holiday in Estonia, such firms appear to be closed and therefore it may not be possible to instruct such a firm and provide a response in accordance with the timescales in your letter (namely, no later than 03.05.2024).
As such, we would kindly ask for a short extension for our clients until 07.05.2024, to enable them to instruct local Counsel and submit an appropriate response.
Please could you kindly acknowledge receipt.
Yours sincerely
Stuart Cairns

TAOTLUS KOLMANDA ISIKU VASTUSE TÄHTAJA PIKENDAMISEKS
1. TAOTLUS
Pikendada kolmandale isikule antud vaidlustusele vastamise tähtaega kuni 07.05.2024.
Sorainen – 2/2 –
2. ASJAOLUD
1. Oxford Nanopore Technologies PLC esitas 26.04.2024 vaidlustuse Tartu Ülikooli
riigihankes „PacBio Revio sekveneerimisinstrumentide ostmine“ (viitenumber 276955).
2. Vaidlustuskomisjon andis oma 29.04.2024 vaidlustuse teatega nr 12.2-10/79 hankijale ja
kolmandale isikule tähtaja 03.05.2024 vaidlustusele kirjaliku vastuse esitamiseks.
3. TAOTLUSE PÕHJENDUS
3. Kolmas isik on välismaine äriühing, kes sai vaidlustuse esitamisest teada 30.04.2024.
Kolmanda isiku õigusteenistus asub Ameerika Ühendriikides, Californias, seetõttu on ajavahe
Eestiga 10 tundi.
4. Pärast vaidlustuse esitamisest teadasaamist pöördus kolmas isik enda Euroopa kontaktide
poole, leidmaks Eestist endale vaidlustusmenetluses esindaja. Kahjuks langes see otsing osalt
ajahetkele, mil Eestis oli riigipüha – 1. mai. Seetõttu ei olnud kolmandal isikul objektiivselt
võimalik leida endale vaidlustusmenetluses esindajat enne 02.05.2024.
5. Kuivõrd antud juhul jääks kolmanda isiku esindajatele vägagi piiratud aeg vaidlustusele
vastuse koostamiseks ja arvestades ka kolmanda isiku ning tema Eesti esindajate asukohast
tingitud suurt ajavahet, palub kolmas isik vaidlustusele vastuse esitamise tähtaja pikendamist
kuni 07.05.2024. Selline tähtaja pikendus ei ohusta VaKo-le vaidlustuse lahendamiseks RHS-
is seatud tähtaega ja oleks asjaolusid arvestades mõistlik.
4. MENETLUSLIKUD KÜSIMUSED
6. Advokaadi esindusõigust eeldatakse (RHS 190 lg 11).
Lugupidamisega
