Replacement of the Kunstlinie Almere main hall lifting system

Summary

The tender concerns the replacement of the lifting installation in the Main Hall of Kunstlinie Almere. The contractor must dismantle and remove the existing installation and design, supply, install, test and commission a new system compliant with EN 17206:2020. The minimum scope includes 16 scenery hoists, 1 curtain hoist, 4 side hoists, integration and modification of 15 existing D8+ chain hoists with load and height measurement, and a TNM control system with servers, power supplies, data infrastructure and safety functions. The estimated contract value is EUR 900,000 excluding VAT. The stated submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 13:00, but the contracting authority has withdrawn the current request because the award methodology was unclear and could not support objective selection. A substantially unchanged new request was expected within 14 calendar days. Award criteria in the withdrawn procedure were price (20%), approach plan (25%), additional hoists offered (30%) and the solution for lifting below the lighting bridge (25%).
