Management system GBI World voluntary transparency

The municipality of Lingewaard uses GBI World from Antea Group for the management of public spaces. This management system supports the municipality in the preparation, planning, execution, and accountability of management and maintenance activities within public spaces. The municipality of Lingewaard intends to continue the agreement for GBI World. This choice is based on substantive, organizational, and economic considerations. Market information and practical experience show that Antea Group's solution stands out due to proven technology, broad integral functionality for public space management, and a stable SaaS environment that demonstrably meets the current and future needs of the municipality. Furthermore, Lingewaard is currently undergoing several extensive change and development processes, including further improvement of data quality, implementation of IMBOR and GWSW, further development of asset management, and various optimizations within public space management. A tender and migration process would currently compete with these ongoing developments, creating significant risks for the continuity of service provision, the progress of strategic tasks, and available implementation capacity. At the same time, the municipality has invested substantially in recent years in the setup, connections, data quality, processes, and knowledge building around GBI World. A switch to an alternative solution would lead to significant divestments of public funds and would place a long-term burden on scarce expertise and capacity. The municipality therefore considers it inefficient to start a tender process at this time that could lead to the loss of already realized investments, additional implementation costs, and delays in ongoing improvement processes. Based on these circumstances, the municipality is of the opinion that continuing the current solution is the most responsible choice at this time from the perspective of continuity, efficiency, risk management, and careful management of public funds. The document for suppliers further explains this consideration and the underlying reasoning.
