01What is being requested
This tender concerns the management and maintenance of 26 Flow 2000 flow meters on the Rijkswateren. Honeywell is the sole provider, possibly due to intellectual property. Rijkswaterstaat is awarding the contract via a negotiated procedure without prior publication for an initial term of two years with an option for two additional years.
The National Water Measurement Network, managed by the CIV department of Rijkswaterstaat, consists of 26 monitoring stations along the Rijkswateren for measuring flow. These stations are equipped with the Flow 2000 measuring instrument. Honeywell is the only company possessing the specialist knowledge required to configure and maintain the system, primarily because Honeywell holds the intellectual property of the Flow 2000. This has resulted in a technical dependency on Honeywell for Rijkswaterstaat. Rijkswaterstaat intends to award the management and maintenance of these monitoring stations
02Exclusion grounds
