Execution of AC350mm pipe inspection
Waterschap Vechtstromen intends to initiate a negotiated procedure without prior publication for a specialist internal pipe inspection of AC350mm pipes on the Schoonebeek industrieweg in Emmen. The inspection requires advanced knowledge of AC pipes and associated analyses, which limits the market. In the past, the water board held two EU procurements, but only one party – Acquaint B.V. – submitted a valid tender and performed the works to satisfaction. The current market remains unchanged, and there are no other parties capable of performing these specialist inspections. Therefore, the water board considers Acquaint B.V. to be the only suitable party and is opting for a negotiated procedure without prior publication, in accordance with Article 2.32 paragraph 1 sub b of the Aanbestedingswet 2012.
