Assignment text
The Employer requires urgently replacement: minimum 1 SC should be delivered as soon as practically possible, followed by 2 additional SC (these SC will be used for landside operations only as they will be too high to operate with the existing container cranes). These 3 SC will be moved to the new terminal later on. Furthermore 4 to 6 additional SC will have to be delivered directly to the new terminal, however not earlier than the 4th quarter of 2024 when the new terminal is expected to be opened. The exact number of SC to be delivered and the exact timing of the delivery (which could be stretched with up to 3 months) will be determined by Employer later at a latest date to be agreed. The Employer intends to procure all straddle carriers under a single contract, however split in 2 Sections, each with it’s own payment terms. The procurement is a two-stage procedure where the first stage is the prequalification of Tenderers and the second stage the tendering with negotiations.
