Purchase of Milling Machines (4x)
Fontys Hogescholen is looking for four identical milling machines for practical education. The current CNC machines are outdated and no longer meet educational needs. The new machines must use Heidenhain software, compatible with existing metalworking equipment. Delivery and purchase are combined with an on-call maintenance contract. Because the replacement period and depreciation are longer than usual, it is permitted to use demo models, provided they are a maximum of 12 months old and used exclusively for demonstration purposes. The procedure is public, without a CPV code, allowing a wide range of suppliers to participate. The focus is on quality, compatibility with the current system, and reliable service support.
