Contract awarded for The delivery, assembly, and commissioning of one (1) gas engine including auxiliary equipment. lot-0000, title: the delivery, assembly, and commissioning of one (1) gas engine including auxiliary equipment., description: introduction with this announcement of voluntary prior transparency, the water authority scheldestromen, hereinafter referred to as the contracting authority, wishes to inform market parties of its intention to award the contract, through a negotiation procedure without prior announcement as referred to in paragraph 2.2.1.7 of the public procurement act 2012, for the delivery, assembly, and commissioning of one (1) gas engine including auxiliary equipment to the company biogas holland service b.v. explanation and motivation for the chosen procedure the contracting authority actively pursues policies in the field of sustainability and energy, as laid down in the applicable policy document 'sustainable business operations' from 2014 and the climate agreement between the union of water authorities and the state. important objectives include increasing energy efficiency and enhancing self-generated energy. energy is an important topic for sustainability policy. the contracting authority applies the 'trias energetica' in all its activities. the climate agreement (and partly also mja-3) between the union of water authorities and the state has translated into a number of concrete ambitions that the contracting authority pursues: energy efficiency of 2% per year between 2005 and 2020 (30% for the entire period, with the largest gains in purification management and mobility); 30% co2 reduction in 2020 compared to 1990 (the contracting authority already meets this, see text box 'energy footprint' in paragraph 3.2); 40% energy from self-generation (for example, biogas digestion at purifications or wind and solar energy). to achieve these objectives, the contracting authority has equipped its three (3) largest purification installations with biogas digestion and chp installations. one of these installations needs to be replaced in the short term because it has been technically and economically depreciated. given the urgency and the state of the current gas engine, quick delivery, assembly, and commissioning are necessary. the replacement of this gas engine must take place within an existing technical system and control environment. the new installation must be fully compatible with the existing installations, control systems, and maintenance structure. ensuring interoperability, operational reliability, and safety (including compliance with bio-cybersecurity requirements) is essential. the contracting authority has determined that only biogas holland service b.v. is capable of meeting these specific technical requirements and conditions, considering: the necessary compatibility with existing installations and control systems; the already established and validated cybersecurity measures; the existing maintenance structure and required uniformity therein, which is important for operational reliability and interchangeability of parts; the fact that the application of another solution would lead to disproportionate technical adjustments, risks to continuity, and significant additional costs. in light of the above, the contracting authority believes that there is a situation in which, for technical reasons and due to the lack of real alternatives, the contract can only be executed by one entrepreneur as referred to in article 2.32, first paragraph, under b, of the public procurement act 2012. intention to negotiate with biogas holland service b.v. therefore, the contracting authority intends to award the contract for the delivery, assembly, and commissioning of one (1) gas engine including auxiliary equipment directly to biogas holland service b.v. value of the agreement the estimated value of this agreement has been set by the contracting authority at a maximum of €700,000.00 excluding vat. possibility of objection the contracting authority wishes to give market parties the opportunity to raise any motivated objections to the contracting authority's intention with this announcement. if a stakeholder, despite the motivation provided by the contracting authority, cannot agree with this intention, they must file a summary proceeding with the competent provisional judge of the zeeland-west brabant court no later than twenty (20) calendar days after the date of publication of this announcement, thus no later than july 8, 2026, at 23:59, and report this to the contracting authority via the messaging module in mercell, simultaneously sending a copy of the summons and indicating the date on which the provisional judge will hear the case. if no legal measures are taken within this period, the contracting authority will proceed to conclude the agreement with biogas holland service b.v. this announcement aims to provide transparency prior to the award of the contract. its application results in limiting the risk of annulment of the agreement in accordance with the public procurement act 2012 if the conditions are met. estimated value excluding vat: 700000.00 eur.The delivery, assembly, and commissioning of one (1) gas engine including auxiliary equipment.
