The Municipality of Leiden intends to award maintenance contracts for the salt electrolysis systems installed in its swimming pools. These systems are manufactured by VDH, the sole Dutch producer of open-cell technology for salt electrolysis. As each installation is custom-made and there is a significant dependency on VDH, the objective is to award the contracts directly to VDH. The procurement concerns a service contract in which VDH is responsible for periodic maintenance, fault handling, and the supply of replacement parts. The procedure is a negotiated procedure without prior publication, emphasizing VDH's exclusivity as a supplier. The municipality expects a high level of technical expertise, rapid response times, and a clear service-level agreement.

01What is being requested

The Municipality of Leiden intends to award maintenance contracts for the salt electrolysis systems installed in its swimming pools. These systems are manufactured by VDH, the sole Dutch producer of open-cell technology for salt electrolysis. As each installation is custom-made and there is a significant dependency on VDH, the objective is to award the contracts directly to VDH. The procurement concerns a service contract in which VDH is responsible for periodic maintenance, fault handling, and the supply of replacement parts. The procedure is a negotiated procedure without prior publication, emphasizing VDH's exclusivity as a supplier. The municipality expects a high level of technical expertise, rapid response times, and a clear service-level agreement.

The swimming pools of the Municipality of Leiden utilize a salt electrolysis system from VDH. This company is a manufacturer itself and the only one in the Netherlands regarding open-cell technology. The installations are custom-made for each location and, given the niche market and inseparable dependency on VDH, we wish to award the contract to this party.
