Publication of voluntary prior transparency Recycling diaper and incontinence material
This is a closed tender by the Municipality of Maastricht for services regarding the recycling of diapers and incontinence material. The municipality has chosen a negotiated procedure without prior publication (art. 2.32 Aw2012) so that a close partner or a limited number of companies can indicate their possibilities. No market order assessment or testing is required because only one or a few providers are being asked to submit a bid.n* **Risks and points of attention** * Incomplete data: a delivery and payment term, a willingness or value indication, and evaluation criteria are missing. * Transparency: negotiation without publication can lead to discussions regarding market order. All parties must align with the municipality's master contract, further details of which can be read in the Mercell memo. * CPV 90514000 falls within the regular market segment for recycling services, meaning standard conditions of the Municipality of Maastricht (e.g., sustainability indicators, certification, reporting) are usually applicable. **Practical advice** 1. Follow the Mercell memo for the argumentation of the procedural approach. 2. For a future project, request a clear value description, deadlines, and evaluation criteria. 3. Take possible market order prices into account by comparing the CPV value with sectoral benchmarks. 4. If you are considering a bid, verify that your organization has experience with similar recycling assignments (CPV 90514000).
