What the buyer is looking for
The UU has approximately 700 fume cupboards at Utrecht Science Park (USP), spread over 15 buildings. Three-yearly cleaning, inspection and, if necessary, repairing of the fume cupboards is our priority. Most fume cupboards are in laboratories, some in workshops. The age of the fume cupboards varies and the variation in brands and types of fume cupboards is large. In the PvE, the content of the assignment has been further elaborated. The estimated value of the cleaning and inspection of the fume cupboards is €104,500,- excluding VAT per year. If the full term of 10 years is used, this comes to a total estimate of €1,045,000,- excluding VAT.
