KNMI (Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut) is planning a European procurement for seismological measuring instruments, to be published in the second or third quarter of 2023. The procurement concerns the supply of geophone arrays, surface accelerometers, and dataloggers for the existing seismological network, without installation or maintenance. The procedure is public and intended to inform market parties in a timely manner; bidding is only possible upon the official announcement. The focus lies on monitoring both induced and tectonic seismic activity, as well as atmospheric phenomena. The procurement is technically complex, requiring specialized equipment and precise specifications, but the scope is limited to a number of instruments. Market parties should prepare for detailed specifications and possible lot division.
