Belgium – Smart cards – Raamovereenkomst voor de aankoop en levering van A-kaarten (Mifare contactloze beveiligde smartcards)

The A-card is the savings and benefits card of the City of Antwerp. Users save points by participating in cultural, sports, and other leisure activities. Saved points can be exchanged for discounts or other benefits. For those who are financially struggling, the A-card is also a personal discount card that entitles the holder to a reduced rate. Finally, the A-card is also used as a library card, as a card to access the underground sorting lanes and as an access card to unmanned sports halls. Points can be saved at various (unmanned) savings columns placed throughout the City of Antwerp, both at municipal locations and at partners of the city. The subject of the contract is the conclusion of a framework agreement for the purchase and delivery of A-cards, namely cards of the MIFARE DESFire 4K EV3 type.
