In consultation with the city of Antwerp, Digipolis put a contract on the market for the realisation of the MultiModal Mobility Manager (M4). This was done through Digipolis' tried and tested Buy from startups tender procedure. This is a 'light' tendering approach specifically aimed at involving small(er) innovative market players in Digipolis' contracts and combines the Negotiation Procedure Without Prior Notice (OZVB) with some aspects of Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP). Buy from startups is a two-stage procedure that first selects suitable candidates for a contract and then conducts negotiations with the selected candidates who have submitted bids. Those negotiations result, through a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) or otherwise, in the award of the contract.

The contract for the development of the M4 was awarded to the supplier Datylon BVBA.
