We are proud to announce that Project Nekton has been selected as one of the five official partners in the new relighting framework agreement (‘Raamovereenkomst Relighting<\/em>‘) by the Vlaams Energiebedrijf (VEB). Within lot 1 and 2, covering the whole of Flanders, we achieved second place in the tender process<\/strong> – a confirmation of our quality, expertise, and approach.<\/p>\n

This recognition means we can now carry out projects via direct award up to a value of \u20ac100,000, without the need for additional tender procedures. This makes it significantly easier and faster for organisations to work with us on sustainable lighting projects!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What does the framework agreement involve?<\/h2>\n

VEB recently launched a new framework agreement focused on relighting, aimed at replacing existing lighting installations with modern, energy-efficient solutions. The goal is to achieve energy savings, enhanced comfort, and the sustainable transformation of buildings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The agreement is valid for an initial term of two years, with an optional one-year extension.<\/p>\n

Direct awards up to \u20ac100,000<\/h2>\n

One of the most significant changes in this new agreement is the increased threshold for direct awards up to \u20ac100,000<\/strong> (previously \u20ac30,000). This means that even larger relighting projects can now be executed more easily, without lengthy tendering procedures or delays.<\/p>\n

The VEB also offers a unique advantage: the entire preliminary process is free of charge<\/strong>. As an organisation, you can submit a non-binding request, receive a site visit, and obtain a detailed quotation – all without obligations or hidden costs. Only at the end of the process do you decide whether to move forward. This reduced barrier fits perfectly with Project Nekton\u2019s philosophy: working transparently, accessibly, and with results in mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sustainability as a core principle<\/h2>\n

What also makes this new framework agreement unique is its strong focus on sustainability<\/strong>. In the past, lighting upgrades often required additional construction work – for example, replacing suspended metal ceilings in schools or offices. Today, there is a clear shift towards refurbishment: reusing existing structures and replacing only what is truly necessary.<\/p>\n

This approach not only reduces waste and material consumption but also offers a cost-saving solution with maximum ecological value.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why choose Project Nekton?<\/h2>\n

At Project Nekton, we combine technical expertise, efficient project management, and a personal approach<\/strong>. With our experience in relighting projects across diverse sectors<\/a> – from schools and sports facilities to healthcare and office environments – we can act quickly and deliver high-quality solutions tailored to each client’s specific context and needs.<\/p>\n

We also specialise in smart lighting solutions that go beyond energy efficiency. Our systems support comfort, safety, remote management, and integration with broader smart building<\/a> technologies.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
