Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe contracting authority invites suppliers to bid for the delivery of three 3D metal printers of two different types. Supply of both printer types includes the associated software, installation, instruction, service and maintenance. For each printer type, a support services and maintenance agreement is concluded for five years, extendable twice by one year. The contract is split into two lots. Lot 1 covers delivery and installation of two LBPF (laser based powder fusion) printers plus an option for one extra LBPF printer, a user training and a service and maintenance agreement. Lot 2 covers delivery and installation of one LMD (laser metal deposition) printer plus an option for one extra LMD printer, also including a user training and a service and maintenance agreement. The European open procedure under the Dutch Procurement Act 2012 runs entirely electronically via the Mercell platform.
