The Dutch government has signed a €255m contract with
construction group Dura Vermeer to build the new Amsterdam offices for the
European Medicines Agency.
The €255m price tag includes a 20-year maintenance
contract, which Dura Vermeer will carry out in alliance with other companies.
The Dutch state is picking up the bill for the complex.
Work will start on the
building project in June and is slated for completion in mid November 2019. The
EMA’s staff will be housed in temporary offices from March, when Britain leaves
the EU.
Last week, the Parool reported that Dura Vermeer was the only company
in the running to build the new headquarters because a second contractor has
pulled out citing time issues.
The other candidate, Zublin, part of the giant
Strabag construction group, pulled out on February 3, saying the deadline of
November 15 2019 for completion is too tight.
