DUO exam printing
The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) intends to select one supplier via a framework agreement for the production, bundling, packaging, and storage of all secondary education examinations in the Netherlands. The assignment concerns an open procedure, in which a supplier must provide a complete logistical chain: paper and printing production, quality control, physical bundling, packaging, storage, and potentially transport to the examination locations. The supplier must meet strict requirements regarding security, traceability, quality, and sustainability, and must be capable of operating on a large scale within the specified timelines. The agreement is a framework agreement, allowing the supplier to execute multiple assignments over a longer period. The contracting authority expects transparent pricing, clear delivery terms, and robust logistical planning.
