What MijnGemeenteDichtbij does
MijnGemeenteDichtbij (MGD) is a Dutch municipal shared service organization (werkorganisatie) jointly established by the municipalities of Boxtel and Sint-Michielsgestel through a personnel merger in 2016. The organization delivers integrated public administration, social services, and physical infrastructure services to roughly 62,000 combined residents and local businesses across two North Brabant municipalities. Each municipality retains its own council and college of mayor and aldermen; MGD operates as the unified operational body behind them.
The organization is structured into three work domains — Bedrijfsvoering & Dienstencentrum (corporate services), Fysiek (physical domain: public space, infrastructure, housing, environment), and Sociaal (social domain: participation, care, youth services). Underlying technology is limited and largely consists of standard public-sector tooling: the Fixi app for citizen issue reporting, Siteimprove for web analytics and digital accessibility, and a careers website at werkenbijmgd.nl supported by Siteimprove's cookieless tracking since early 2024. There are no proprietary software products, no commercial platform, and no developer-facing APIs or SDKs.
The revenue model is municipal public funding allocated by the two municipality councils under the CAO Gemeenten 2025-2027 collective labor agreement. MGD is not a commercial seller and does not generate transactional revenue; salaries, benefits (including a 17.05% Individueel Keuzebudget, NS Business Card, home office allowance, and pension contributions), and operating costs are funded through statutory municipal budgets. Go-to-market is direct-to-candidate recruitment via the careers portal, regional Werken in Noordoost Brabant job alerts, LinkedIn and YouTube employer branding, and BMC Werving & Selectie for senior-level hiring. End users of services (residents, entrepreneurs) are not paying customers; the two municipalities are the sole contracting counterparties.

MijnGemeenteDichtbij competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Gemeente Eindhoven: Major Dutch municipality in North Brabant with in-house municipal services covering all domains MGD serves. Comparable as a fully resourced Dutch municipal employer, demonstrating both an alternative organizational model and a premium employer brand competitor in the regional labor market.
- UWV (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen): Large Dutch national public-sector organization administering employee insurance and labor-market services. Comparable as a major Dutch public-sector employer operating under statutory mandate, but at national rather than municipal scale.
- Gemeente Tilburg: Large Dutch municipality in North Brabant operating its own municipal services organization (including social domain, physical infrastructure, and corporate services). Comparable in function to MGD but at much larger single-municipality scale, illustrating the scale gap MGD faces.
- SVB (Sociale Verzekeringsbank): Dutch national public-sector organization administering statutory social insurance schemes (AOW, AKW, WKB). Comparable as a statutory Dutch public-sector service organization with similar regulatory mandate and funding structure.
Regional players
- Veiligheidsregio Brabant-Noord: Regional safety authority coordinating fire services, disaster response, and crisis management across North Brabant municipalities. Comparable regional public-sector shared service organization with similar governance and funding model.
- Waterschap De Dommel: Regional water authority covering the same North Brabant geography as MGD (including Boxtel and Sint-Michielsgestel). Comparable Dutch public-sector organization with overlapping municipal stakeholders and similar public funding model.
- GGD Brabant-Noord: Regional public health service covering North Brabant municipalities, providing youth health, infectious disease control, and public health services. Overlaps with MGD's Sociaal domain (jeugdhulp, participation) and shares municipal funding/governance model.
- Regionale Uitvoeringsdienst Brabant-Noord: Regional environmental enforcement and services authority covering North Brabant municipalities. Comparable as a regional Dutch public-sector shared service organization with overlapping geography and similar funding structure (municipal contributions).
Others
- Belastingsamenwerking Oost-Brabant: Inter-municipal tax cooperation for North Brabant municipalities. Thematically adjacent Dutch shared-service / inter-municipal cooperation organization — illustrating the broader Dutch ecosystem of cross-municipal service consolidation in which MGD operates.
Direct peers
- Gemeente Land van Cuijk: Dutch municipality formed in 2022 from the merger of five municipalities (Cuijk, Boxmeer, Sint Anthonis, Mill en Sint Hubert, Grave), operating a comparable shared service organization model serving merged communities. Most direct structural analog to MGD's two-municipality SSO model in the same Dutch public-sector context.
