Rental of river cruise ship for the reception of Ukrainian refugees
Since the beginning of the war, the Municipality of Leiden has accommodated 631 Ukrainian refugees across four locations. It is expected that two of these locations will cease to exist in mid-May, creating a need for new accommodation sites. As an alternative, the municipality is considering the deployment of a river cruise ship. Because the municipality is a contracting authority subject to procurement rules, the rental of the ship must take place via an EU procurement procedure. The market consultation has therefore been organized to inform the market and gather requirements. The procurement focuses on a service (rental) and falls under the market consultation procedure, whereby the CPV code has not yet been determined. The municipality requires a ship that meets safety and sanitary standards, has sufficient capacity, is suitable for long-term stays, and complies with EU and national regulations.
