Contract awarded for Announcement of voluntary transparency in advance: expansion of current dvc price to level 2 lot-0000, title: expansion of current pris dvc to level 2, description: in 2021, the decision was made to house the mice of the central animal testing service (cdp) in digital ventilated cages (dvc). the use of dvc offers advantages on multiple fronts: for cdp staff: lower exposure to allergens and a substantial reduction in the number of repetitive tasks. for mice: a more refined and animal-friendly form of housing. for researchers: easy access to relevant data, including activity data of mice in animal experiments and breeding. for the environment: a direct saving on water, steam, and electricity consumption, as well as on the use of bedding material. additionally, dvc indirectly leads to fewer transport movements for the supply and removal of materials. at the start of the implementation, it was already clear that the dvc software needed to be integrated with the business management system pris. maintaining records about the same animals in two separate systems is inefficient and increases the chance of errors and inconsistencies. the basis for this integration is a technical platform on which the necessary functionalities are realized in two phases: level 1 and level 2. the technical platform has now been delivered and meets the specified requirements. level 1 has also been successfully realized and is functioning properly. to fully complete the integration and maximize the added value of dvc, the realization of level 2 is necessary. the design for this is already available. with the implementation of level 2, all relevant information will be brought together in one integrated system. this will eliminate duplicate administrative tasks and make data about the mice, their activity, cleaning moments, and welfare alerts centrally available. this leads to more efficient operations, higher data quality, and better support for all stakeholders: all cdp staff - including animal care technicians and veterinarians - and researchers. 500,000 euros estimated value excluding vat: 1.00 eur.Announcement of voluntary transparency in advance: expansion of current dvc price to level 2
