Soil Contamination Lange Nieuwstraat
In 2020, the Municipality of Tilburg awarded the redevelopment of Philips Vingboonsstraat and Lange Nieuwstraat via a construction team through an informal tender. The contract was won by Gebr. van Kessel Wegenbouw B.V. During execution, contaminated soil was discovered several times, necessitating unforeseen remediation. This remediation has pushed the costs above the EU threshold. The contracting authority has decided to award the remediation directly to the current contractor to prevent delays, but wishes to remain transparent regarding the cost overrun. The procurement falls under the 'negotiation without prior publication' procedure, through which the contracting authority has chosen a flexible approach. The focus lies on the safe and cost-efficient remediation of the soil, ensuring quality and safety, and complying with legal environmental management requirements.
