What the buyer is looking for
The assignment concerns the selection of preferred suppliers for the mechanical installations at the VU Campus. This includes the work on all mechanical installations that are not covered by an existing MAGP contract, i.e. not being maintenance. This work stems, among other things, from construction and housing projects. Examples of this are the replacement of fire dampers, adjustments to the air treatment system and the installation of extraction systems for special rooms.
