What the buyer is looking for
ProRail needs supply of modular and circular rail-related buildings (RGGs), consisting of standardised modules that are used to house rail-related technical installations (including energy supply, train security and telecom/ICT) within ProRail’s assets. These modules should contribute to a future-proof and sustainable rail design, with standardisation, circularity and flexibility at its core. The aim of this call for tenders is to conclude a framework agreement with one party on the supply, filling with technical systems, storage, overhaul and dismantling of modular rail-related buildings to meet this need. The maximum number of systems (modules) to be procured is 270 pieces.
