Delivery of filter system for groundwater protection area Province Gelderland, municipality Apeldoorn, 2025

The Municipality of Apeldoorn intends to enter into an agreement with Altena Civiele Techniek B.V. for the supply of a filter system for a groundwater protection area. This procurement is being conducted under a direct award procedure, citing Article 2.32, paragraph 1, part b, sub 2 of the Dutch Procurement Act 2012 (Aanbestedingswet 2012). The justification for this approach is the absence of competition due to technical reasons. The Municipality has conducted an investigation into the availability of reasonable alternatives and has concluded that the lack of competition is not a result of artificially restricting the tender conditions. Further explanation and substantiation for this decision are provided in an accompanying document. The estimated value of this contract is €400,000. This project focuses on essential infrastructure within the groundwater protection area of the Province of Gelderland, specifically within the municipality of Apeldoorn. The selected filter system is crucial for maintaining the quality and protection of the groundwater resources in this designated area. The direct award to Altena Civiele Techniek B.V. suggests a specialized solution or unique capability possessed by this contractor, making them the sole viable option for fulfilling the technical requirements of the project. The municipality's due diligence in assessing alternatives underscores their commitment to a fair, albeit non-competitive, procurement process for this specific need.
