Hiring detainee care services

Summary

The tender concerns the hiring of detainee care staff for the Dutch Police. The procedure is an open-house style admission process without award competition at the admission stage, followed by an invitation stage and later mini-competitions. The estimated contract value is EUR 9,000,000 excluding VAT over four years. The bidder must submit the UEA and, where applicable, proof of registration, tax compliance, GVA, ISO 9001:2015 or equivalent quality management evidence, and a sector-specific security licence. The key experience requirement was updated: the first core competence was removed, and the remaining core competence requires at least 3,500 hours per year on average over the last three contract years in supplying security personnel for the care or guarding of detainees. Subcontractors relied on only for capacity or capability do not need to submit the quality-management proof at the admission stage, but subcontractors used in performance must meet the quality-management requirement later.
