01What is being requested
The contract concerns the delivery of machines for ice and snow control, including a spreading management system (SMS) and a maintenance contract of at least 5 years. The delivery includes, among other things, 3x towed spreader type baby, 3x towed spreader for slow traffic, 1x truck-mounted spreader, 1x storage tank for brine, 1x mixing plant and the SMS.
The Municipality of Tholen aims to optimize and modernize its ice and snow control capacity in the coming year. To ensure safety on roads and cycle paths during winter conditions, it is necessary to have access to reliable and efficient spreading agents. Therefore, it has been decided to purchase a number of new machines and to trade in existing machines.
02Strategic insight
<ul Ensure that the total price for the delivery of the machines remains below the maximum price of € 450,000.00 excl. VAT to prevent exclusion. Include all additional costs such as transport and administration in the all-in rates. When using a combination of parties, ensure that all combining parties separately complete and submit a UEA. Ensure that the maintenance component (minimum 5 years) and the training are correctly included in accordance with the requirements.
