Municipal fleet insurance
The Municipality of Leiden (and the municipalities of DZB, Leiderdorp, Oegstgeest, and Zoeterwoude) indicates a desire to conclude a municipal fleet insurance agreement without a public procurement procedure. Instead, a voluntary transparency publication is being made, during which parties have 20 calendar days to lodge an objection. If no objection is filed, an agreement may be concluded, even above the EU threshold value. The municipality emphasizes that the market for fleet insurance is small, that insurers are loss-making, and that a tender often leads to premium increases. There were no bids during the previous tender. The procedure is therefore intended to provide transparency without the obligation of a full procurement, but with the possibility of offering publicly if objections arise.

In this publication, we provide reasoned justification as to why we are not undergoing a public procurement procedure, but are instead making this voluntary transparency publication. Parties have the opportunity to object to the decision mentioned in the publication during a period of 20 calendar days. If parties make use of this possibility, we will still be required to conduct a public tender. If no objection is filed, an agreement may be lawfully concluded, even with a value above the EU threshold value. (Note: The source text ends abruptly with 'vol') Arguments: 1. There is hardly a mark
