Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe municipality of Utrecht wishes to conclude one framework agreement with a 3B System Integrator for its Movable Bridges Programme (PBB). The programme covers documentation and modernisation of the electro-mechanically movable bridges and the municipal control centre on Vaartscherijnstraat. The term 3B refers to installations for the operation, control and monitoring of the bridges. The buyer expects to purchase products and services over the maximum ten-year term with a total expected value of EUR 9,400,000, with a capped maximum total value of EUR 12,700,000. The framework agreement ends automatically once the maximum amount is reached. This concerns an engineering services contract in the Netherlands.

Expected award price

Each award is compared with the estimate of the same lots, framework agreements excluded. A published estimate may include options and renewals, so an award under it is not always a discount.
