Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe Netherlands Government Real Estate Agency (RVB) is procuring airfield lighting products on behalf of the Dutch Ministry of Defence. Due to a policy change linked to geopolitical tensions, Defence wants to build a stock of airfield lighting enabling 90 days of maintenance and replacement at its airfields. This exceeds the usual 10 percent spare parts purchased alongside runway renovations. The lighting must often be exactly identical to installed products because compatibility is essential for safe take-offs and landings, so the requirement is partly specified technically. Potential suppliers should consult the full tender documents on the official EU tender portal for dates and participation conditions.
