The agreement consists of the supply and maintenance of a container management system and the chipping and exchange of containers in the municipality of Waalre.

The municipality of Waalre will introduce a new waste collection system on 1 January 2023: diftar. For the introduction of diftar, a container management system is necessary and the containers in question must be chipped and exchanged if necessary. This also applies to the following years (management phase), the container management system must be maintained and new containers must be placed.

The contract starts after the award of the contract and is entered into for a period of a minimum of 4 years and a maximum of 8 years.

A separate agreement could be concluded for setting up the container management system and delivering the mini-containers. This could result in an agreement being concluded with different contractors. However, the municipality wants to contract one contractor so that it has a single point of contact for setting up the container management system and placing or exchanging the mini containers. The municipal waste policy, the introduction of diftar and the subsequent implementation and management phase can therefore be conducted effectively and easily. With that, the assignment has been merged.

If the assignment is split by, for example, a plot layout, more coordination is necessary. This entails extra activities and therefore more (internal) costs. If the coordination is not optimal, this can lead to delays and therefore additional inconvenience for stakeholders (e.g. residents). In addition, the municipality will be responsible for the planning and coordination of the implementation. Because all this is not in the interest of the municipality, the municipality has the work carried out by one contractor.

The tenderers can carry out the work without or with a small number of subcontractors: they usually have all disciplines in-house. Splitting into plots that can be awarded independently does not lead to better accessibility for SMEs, but rather to the sub-optimization mentioned in the previous paragraph. The assignment is open to SMEs as a whole. Therefore, no plot layout is applied.

The contract starts after the award of the contract and is entered into for a period of a minimum of 4 years and a maximum of 8 years.
