Tender

Digipolis, in consultation with the City of Antwerp, tendered the contract for the development of the language app through its tried and tested Buy from startups procurement procedure. This is a 'light' procurement approach specifically aimed at involving small(er) innovative market players in Digipolis' assignments and combines the Negotiation Procedure Without Prior Notice (OZVB) with some aspects of Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP). Buy from startups is a two-stage procedure that first selects suitable candidates for a contract and then conducts negotiations with the selected candidates who have submitted bids. Those negotiations result, through a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) or otherwise, in the award of the contract.

The contract for the development of the language app was awarded to the supplier Linguineo BVBA.
