Announcement of prior voluntary transparency: Replacement of secure document issuance system
The Municipality of Apeldoorn intends to replace the current issuance system for passports and driver's licenses, including the associated safe and pneumatic tube infrastructure. The new system must operate automatically, comply with security and privacy legislation, and integrate seamlessly with existing IT infrastructure. Research indicates that Docudistri is the only provider capable of delivering a fully automated issuance system for secure documents. The contract is subject to a negotiated procedure without prior publication, which limits the selection procedure to a small number of pre-selected suppliers. The municipality expects a long-term maintenance and support relationship, with clear SLAs for availability, incident response, and system updates.
