Description
Auto-translated from DutchThis tender aims to conclude a Framework Agreement on behalf of the Ministry of Defence for various types of gift cards. Gift cards are understood to include both digital and physical cards that are primarily provided to employees in the context of a (special) occasion, performance, and the like. This can include, for example, a gift card for individual rewards and/or anniversaries. In addition, the gift card can also be used as a token of appreciation for external persons who have contributed, for example. The orderer of the gift card will determine per order which gift card(s) is/are most suitable for the relevant (group of) persons and/or situation. The contracted supplier must therefore offer a wide spectrum of different gift cards that are widely redeemable, meaning, among other things, at many physical and/or online stores and/or gift cards that can be redeemed for a wide range of products and services. The value on the gift card can range from €5 to €150 per gift card. The supplier must be organizationally and logistically capable of delivering the desired number of gift cards within the desired delivery time. The order size can vary from a single item per order to a bulk order (see Appendix 3 for the Program of Requirements). The Ministry of Defence expects, based on current knowledge, to purchase €4.84 million (including VAT) over the maximum term of the framework agreement. This is the carefully estimated value. To cope with uncertainty and other possible unforeseen circumstances, the maximum order value has been set at 100% above the carefully estimated value, which amounts to €9.68 million (including VAT) over the entire term of the agreement (maximum 4 years). The VAT rate may vary when selling the card (0%, 9% or 21%), the VAT rate depends on the chosen gift card. Where exclusive of VAT is stated in this tender document, for the sake of simplicity, it has been chosen to work with 1 VAT rate; for the carefully estimated value and the maximum value, the contracting authority assumes the amounts stated here including VAT. The tender shows that the VAT rate is 0%, the maximum value of the awarded framework agreement is €9.68 million (including VAT).
