Twence B.V. announces a voluntary transparency procedure for the extension of the agreement with the current network provider Deltics in Hengelo. In quarters 1 and 2 of 2024, the contracting authority conducted a closed market consultation and determined that no competition exists due to technical, logistical, and operational complexity. Consequently, Twence is opting for a contract of 2 fixed years with 2 option years to ensure continuity for critical processes such as the weighbridge. The procedure falls under the 'detriment risk' exemption and is intended to guarantee a smooth transition. Stakeholders can lodge an objection within 20 calendar days via email. If no objection is received, the award becomes final. The procurement concerns the delivery of full ICT management (storage, network, and firewalls) and focuses on a technically specialized market without competition.
