Technical Market Consultation: Information Session
The Brussels Flemish and Walloon Region of Belgium invite potential suppliers and service providers to an information meeting as a first step towards a market consultation on Monday 10 September 2012 (fron 9:00 to 17:00) at the Hadewych auditorium (H. Conscience building) in Koning Albert II laan 15 (Brussels).
On 21 January 2011 the three Regions have decided to introduce a kilometre charge for trucks and a road vignette for light vehicles in the Regions. In preparation of the implementation of both systems the desired architecture (which includes the technical financial and legal framework) is being developed. During the first phase of the project a provisional architecture for both charging systems has been defined. By means of- amongst others – a market consultation this architecture will be further detailed and its feasibility will be verified. The final architecture will serve as basis for the formal tender which will lead to the introduction of the road pricing systems mentioned above.
In order to gather the latest information on technology in the market and to validate the design decisions that have been made in the present architecture interested parties are invited to participate in this information meeting to respond to a questionnaire and to participate in further consultation meetings on specific subjects.
Interested market parties are requested to register as participant for the market consultation by filling out the registration form and submitting this form to info@vlabruwa.be before 31/8/2012. Should the number of registrations exceed the available space in the planned facilities we will request to reduce the number of participants per market party.
The information material is available via email.
Participants are requested to submit the filled out questionnaire on or before 13 September 2012. Based on the received questionnaires parties may be asked for further clarifications with respect to one or more elements of their questionnaire. Questionnaires submitted after the mentioned deadline will not be taken into consideration.
Additional questions from parties not included in their submitted questionnaires will also not be taken into consideration.
The results of the market consultation will be published.
The program of the information meeting will be published prior to the meeting of 10 September.
