What ICT NML does

ICT NML (ICT Noord- en Midden-Limburg) is a Dutch municipal ICT cooperation organized as a "gemeenschappelijke regeling" (joint municipal arrangement under public law), headquartered in Roermond, Netherlands. Founded in 2013, the organization delivers shared ICT management, maintenance, automation, and geo-information services to seven member municipalities in North and Central Limburg: Venlo, Roermond, Weert, Nederweert, Asten, Someren, and Leudal. ICT NML operates as a non-profit ("zonder winstoogmerk") cooperative, structuring itself into an execution team for daily ICT infrastructure management and a program team for strategic development and improvement programs. It employs between 101 and 250 people and is governed under GIBIT and VNG public-procurement conditions.

The technical core is a Gemeenschappelijk Automatiseringsplatform (Shared Automation Platform) that enables participant municipalities to collaborate on information provision, harmonize parts of their application landscapes, and access a common GEO platform. Since January 2024, ICT NML has integrated ECGeo (Expertise Centrum Geo), which provides geo-information and base-registration services (BGT, BAG, BOR, WOZ) for four municipalities, including surveying with tachymeters, GNSS, and 3D modeling. Customer-facing delivery is anchored by the Eva ICT Serviceportaal (self-service portal) and a servicedesk with an emergency line ("spoedlijn") for citizen-impacting incidents. Cybersecurity is delivered in collaboration with Ilionx and Exabeam.

Revenue is generated through municipal contributions and shared-service fees under multi-year contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. GTM is sales-led and relationship-based, with services delivered on request from municipal customers and supported by regional knowledge-sharing events (Regionale Kennismiddag), joint procurement exercises that extend beyond core members (e.g., with Servicecentrum MER, Veiligheidsregio Limburg-Noord, and the Horst aan de Maas / Venray ICT cooperation), and an active LinkedIn and website presence. ICT NML has achieved consecutive Great Place to Work certifications (2025, 2026–2027) and holds SBB "Erkend Leerbedrijf" status for ICT and geo traineeships.
