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

Opportunity description

General information Contracting authority 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. The institute’s core tasks include policy support for the government. These services are carried out in both national and international contexts. RIVM consists of around thirty units, usually laboratories, teams or centres 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 behaviour. 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 (modelling). MIL identifies trends and maps the effects of policy measures on environmental quality. The quality of the environment in the Netherlands is closely related to international developments. MIL is therefore involved in international environmental monitoring for the European Environment Agency and in climate research. A number of sample texts are listed below; adapt them to the domain / centre / department for which the procurement procedure is being conducted.
