Summary
Machine-generated summaryRIVM seeks a framework agreement with a single contractor for maintenance and supply of air conditioning installations serving the National Air Quality Monitoring Network (LML). The assignment covers preventive and corrective maintenance, plus supply and installation of new units when existing ones cannot be repaired or have reached the end of their technical life.

Preventive maintenance takes place once a year, and in case of breakdowns the contractor must attend site within 2 working days to restore continuity of measurements. Estimated value is EUR 172,000 excluding VAT, with a maximum framework value of EUR 227,000 excluding VAT over a maximum term of 4 years.
