The Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (RUG) manages approximately 500,000 m² of real estate, including lecture halls, offices, laboratories, and sports facilities. Due to frequent new construction, remodeling, and renovation, fire safety is often not fully documented. The fire department has indicated that not all drawings are in order and it is unclear whether the fire partitions meet the required fire resistance and are located in the correct positions. For Phase 1, the RUG is asking the market for advice on the optimal procurement strategy. The assignment focuses on identifying the current situation, determining the necessary measures, and drafting a realistic and market-oriented request for tender. The collaboration should contribute to a constructive approach, involving both contractors and fellow contracting authorities. Answers must be submitted via Mercell within two weeks of publication.
