What the buyer is looking for

The RDW is increasingly carrying out inspections on, among other things, hydrogen and electrically powered buses. For this, RDW employees must be able to work safely at height. In order to ensure a safe, stable and efficient working height, the use of mast lifts is necessary. Because the RDW is currently carrying out this work at 16 inspection locations throughout the Netherlands, 16 mast lifts will have to be delivered and maintained. RDW employees must also be instructed/trained in order to be able to use the mast lifts safely and responsibly. This Assignment/Agreement relates to the following: 1. Purchase & delivery of 16 mast lifts for all inspection locations of the RDW. 2. Training (including certification) for RDW employees who will use the mast lifts. This initially concerns 48 RDW employees (for commissioning mast lifts). During the maintenance period, new individual employees…
