What the buyer is looking for
The Province of Utrecht has set up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DAS) for the hiring of external personnel. The DAS is used for temporary capacity needs within the organisation (e.g. to replace illness, temporary projects or peak load). The DAS includes the segments as further specified in the tender documents. The DAS is implemented and facilitated via Flextender's digital portal. Interested entrepreneurs, agencies and intermediaries must register once free of charge via www.flextender.nl to submit applications for admission. During the entire duration of the DAS, new entrepreneurs can apply on an ongoing basis. Authorised parties will then receive the specific requests for quotations (mini-competitions). For the full procedure and eligibility conditions, please refer to the attached Selection Guide. The province of Utrecht expects to place approximately 200 to 225 hiring orders annually…
