What the buyer is looking for
The aim of the tender is to conclude a framework contract for the supply of approximately 100-150 kilometres of high-voltage and traction cables over a period of eight years (2027-2035). These cables are crucial for the replacement, expansion and maintenance of the energy infrastructure of GVB's metro and tram network. Deliveries will take place on a call-off basis, giving GVB the flexibility to purchase equipment when projects and maintenance work require it.
