Details

The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) is legally mandated to monitor and analyse seismic activity in and around the Netherlands.

To fulfil this statutory responsibility, KNMI operates and maintains a nationwide seismic monitoring network consisting of multiple monitoring locations. Each location is equipped with seismological instruments and a data logger that records the measurement data and transmits it to KNMI's servers via a router. KNMI analyses these data to fulfil its legal mandate, and the data are also made publicly available for (scientific) research purposes.

To maintain the monitoring network, KNMI requires seismological instruments that perform accurate and consistent seismic measurements and are capable of transmitting data to KNMI. As a contracting authority subject to public procurement legislation, KNMI is required to conduct procurement procedures for the acquisition of these instruments.

The objective of this procurement is to contract a supplier f

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this manufacturing & supply opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
