Due to a ruling by the Supreme Court, the municipality must give equal opportunities to interested parties when issuing land. A selection procedure is not necessary if it has been established in advance or can reasonably be assumed that only one candidate will be eligible for the land.
- The municipality believes that in this case the exception rule as stated in the judgment applies and there is only one serious candidate for the following reason.
- Leeuwarden’s housing policy aims to ensure more social and affordable housing.
- The local authority plans to sell the plot of land in that context to WoonFriesland.
- Leeuwarden and WoonFriesland are thus jointly implementing the local authority’s housing policy and the performance agreements made with WoonFriesland.
The local authority therefore considers that there is only one serious bidder in this case.
