ATC-NL is a Dutch independent administrative organisation that is responsible for providing air traffic services to civil air traffic in the Dutch airspace in a safe, efficient, and environmentally sensible way. In the Dutch Aviation Act this and all other tasks of ATC-NL have been laid down. Besides the provision of air traffic services these tasks consist of the provision of CNS services (including the modernization and management of these technical systems), giving aeronautical information, catering for air traffic control training and providing aviation charts and publications. In short, ATC-NL is responsible for the control of air traffic in the Dutch civil airspace as well as parts of the North Sea area and everything related thereto. ATC-NL became operational in 1923 and since 1993 as a so called "Independent Administrative Body (ZBO)".
Air Traffic Control - The Netherlands (ATC-NL) wishes to replace the in-house developed "ADAS" system (Aeronautical Data Access System). The current system is developed over a time frame of approximately 25 years and encompasses AFTN, AMHS, Route Charges Office, ICAO document management, flight database and strip printing functionality. ATC-NL wants to gather information whether one or a multitude of COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) systems are available to replace the current system. ATC-NL expects to profit from shared knowledge, shared investments and shorter time to implement new functionality by adopting a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) system or systems.
ATC-NL requests information in a non-competitive market consultation. This means that the spread/bandwidth in the answers coming from the market will be used amongst other to determine the definitive scope for the system. The information that ATC-NL requests, concerns mostly the commercially of-the-shelf (COTS) availability for equipment that can fulfil ATC-NL's requirements for the AFTN, AMHS, Route Charges Office, ICAO document management, flight database and strip printing functionality.
The purpose, process and further details regarding this market survey are explained in the market survey consultation that can be downloaded free of charge from the Negometrix tender platform after your request to participate has been received. The market consultation questionnaire contains specific questions for which ATC-NL seeks your advice to.
