Netherlands – Environmental engineering consultancy services – Support for nitrogen advice, modeling and information systems 2027

Opportunity description

The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) is an agency of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS). Through research, implementation and support, RIVM promotes public health and a clean and safe living environment. One of the institute’s core tasks is policy support for the government. These services are performed in both national and international contexts. RIVM consists of approximately thirty units, usually laboratories, teams or centers with a specific research task. The Environment & Safety (M&V) domain develops knowledge and expertise and advises public authorities on a safe and healthy living environment. For example, this domain monitors the quality of air, water and soil. It also takes measurements after an accident or disaster in which potentially hazardous substances are released. It investigates various forms of radiation, such as radioactive substances, light sources, high-voltage power lines and mobile phones. It also investigates the effects of environmental factors on health, such as air pollution or noise nuisance. M&V also conducts research into perception and behavior. As part of the M&V domain, the Centre for Environmental Quality (MIL) maps the quality of the physical environment. This primarily concerns the quality of soil, groundwater and air, and environmental factors such as noise and light. MIL does this through measurement (monitoring) and calculation (modeling). MIL identifies trends and maps the effects of policy measures on environmental quality. RIVM requires support to implement and safeguard the responsible and proper use of scientific data and models in nitrogen information systems (such as AERIUS). This requires a team of experts in the nitrogen dossier to develop a suitable ICT application based on that expertise. Expertise in the nitrogen dossier is required, among other things, in the areas of nitrogen modeling, nitrogen emissions and depositions, and nature data and legislation. The framework agreement with the current supplier, which at the time resulted from the European tender “AERIUS 2022” with Negometrix tender number 200092, expires this year. A new agreement for support for nitrogen advice and information systems 2027 must be put out to tender. This new Framework Agreement must commence on 1 January 2027. The objective of this European tender is to conclude a new Framework Agreement between RIVM and one (Combination of) Contractor(s) for providing Environmental Engineering expertise and deploying the nitrogen information systems for MIL’s subject areas, as well as hosting, management and maintenance of the associated information systems. Estimated value: 26,000,000 EUR. Review the original TED notice for the complete requirement, lots, amendments and attachments.
