In addition, CVO expects fundamental labour and human rights to be respected in the production chain. Where appropriate, CVO fits in with the principles formulated by the Dutch government for socially responsible commissioning and procurement. The historical expenditure on hardware amounted to approximately €1,294,000 including VAT in 2024 and approximately €2,448,000 including VAT in 2025. No rights can be derived from these amounts and CVO does not provide a purchase guarantee. The Agreement is expected to enter into force on 1 January 2027 and has an initial duration until 31 December 2029. CVO has the possibility to unilaterally renew the agreement for a maximum of three times one year under the same conditions.
