Announcement in case of voluntary transparency in advance VW Transporters Announcement in case of voluntary transparency in advance VW Transporters
Introduction This announcement is only used to make known to interested parties the intended choice of procedure, i.e. the intention to conclude an agreement with Volkswagen dealer Van den Udenhout in Breda invoking the negotiated procedure without announcement on the basis of Article 2.32, first paragraph under b under 2 of the 2012 Public Procurement Act in combination with Article 4.16 et seq. of the 2012 Public Procurement Act. The aim of this is to give interested parties the opportunity to express any objections within the associated period. The client for the agreement is the Municipality of Breda, hereinafter referred to as: “Client”. Motivation for chosen procedure & proposed agreement The Client justifies its choice to use Article 2.32, first paragraph, under b, under 2, of the Public Procurement Act 2012 as follows, on the basis of three cumulative criteria: there is a lack of competition for technical reasons, there is no reasonable alternative or substitute and the lack of competition is not the result of an artificial restriction of the conditions of the tender. For further explanation, see the appendix. Brief description of purchasing order Within the municipality of Breda, double cabin chassis cabin (DCCC) vehicles, single cabin chassis cabin (ECCC) vehicles and closed buses, both single and double cabin, are operational in significant numbers. The DCCC vehicles in particular are well represented. A large proportion of these vehicles are older than eight years and in several cases older than twelve years. Both the technical and economic condition of these vehicles necessitate replacement in the short term. The current deployment entails an increased risk for the continuity of operational services. Although these vehicle types are frequently used within governments and landscaping companies, in absolute terms they are a relatively small market segment. As a result, manufacturers and importers only include these vehicle configurations to a limited extent in electrification programs.

Both the technical and economic condition of these vehicles necessitate replacement in the short term. The current deployment entails an increased risk for the continuity of operational services. Although these vehicle types are frequently used within governments and landscaping companies, in absolute terms they are a relatively small market segment. As a result, manufacturers and importers only include these vehicle configurations to a limited extent in electrification programs. The municipality of Breda has a need for electric commercial vehicles with a double cabin (DCCC) and an open platform or tipper, intended for use by various executive teams. One supplier has an offer that meets the functional and technical requirements of the municipality of Breda, namely Volkswagen. Delivery and service take place via Volkswagen dealer Van den Udenhout in Breda. The other market parties and framework contractors approached have indicated that they cannot supply the requested vehicle types or have not responded to the request. On this basis, the municipality of Breda concludes that in fact only one supplier is capable of carrying out the order.
