01What is being requested

RET N.V. is seeking a supplier to replace the outdated switch automation system (WAS) at the Beverwaard tram depot. The assignment concerns technical-electrical installation works (CPV 34940000) including the integration of new automatic driving routes and a HASTUS interface, conducted via a competitive procedure with negotiation in the Netherlands. Due to the absence of SME-oriented preferences and a relatively long total duration (≈56 days), this tender is of interest to medium to large electrotechnical companies with experience in train/tram systems.

RET wishes to have the outdated and failure-prone switch automation system (hereinafter referred to as: WAS) at the Beverwaard tram depot replaced. The current system suffers from issues with mass detection due to concrete reinforcement. Additionally, the software is unstable, not robust, and difficult to adapt. Furthermore, new automatic driving routes and integration with HASTUS for operations are required.
