The Academisch Ziekenhuis Maastricht (azM) intends to engage an external accountant via a framework agreement for a maximum period of seven years, including four years of base services and three extensions of one year each. The procurement follows the open procedure of the European Directive 2014/24/EU and the Dutch Aanbestedingswet 2012.

The contracting authority is looking for a reliable partner with experience in complex healthcare institutions, tax and financial regulations, and the ability to meet strict requirements for transparency, reporting, and audit.
The azM, also acting under the name Maastricht UMC+, intends to tender the accounting services. The contracting authority seeks to conclude a framework agreement with one entrepreneur for a duration of four (4) years, with the possibility of extension three (3) times for one (1) year each. The maximum contract duration is therefore seven (7) years. The procurement is conducted according to the open procedure (the open procedure is a procurement procedure consisting of a single round, in which every entrepreneur may submit a bid) in accordance with the European Directive for public procurement
