The input text concerns a German public procurement procedure under the Unterschwellenvergabeordnung (UVgO) for the “Kauf und Lieferung von Ti-15Mo-Pulver” (purchase and delivery of Ti‑15Mo powder) for the Technische Universität Braunschweig (TU Braunschweig). It reflects the perspective of German public contracting rules, referencing national instruments (UVgO, GWB, VOL/B) and the Zusätzliche Vertragsbedingungen des Landes Niedersachsen (ZVB). The country context is Germany, with no other countries as contracting parties, though EU concepts (EEE, EU-SME definition) are mentioned.
The documents set out in detail what the bidder must submit and the minimum qualification requirements. Such as: the bid must be prepared in German using the provided VHB forms (Angebotsschreiben 633, Titelblatt/Leistungsverzeichnis, Bewerbungsbedingungen 632, Eigenerklärung zur Eignung 124 LD). The Eigenerklärung covers, for example, comparable turnover in the last three years, confirmation of having performed comparable services, and commitment to provide three references if the offer comes into closer consideration. It also includes declarations on insolvency status, absence of exclusion grounds under §§ 123, 124 GWB, proper payment of taxes and social security contributions, and membership in a Berufsgenossenschaft. Certificates (e.g. Finanzamt, Berufsgenossenschaft, Gewerberegister, Wettbewerbsregister) and any specific evidence to confirm the self‑declarations are only required on separate request if the bid is shortlisted. As such, insurance is implied via Berufsgenossenschaft membership; explicit insurance limits are not specified in the extracts. Where bidders rely on other companies’ capacities (Eignungsleihe) or subcontractors, additional forms “Erklärung zur Eignungsleihe” and “Erklärung zum Einsatz von Unterauftrag-/Nachunternehmen” with corresponding Verpflichtungserklärungen must be submitted, and the assisting companies must also provide their own Eigenerklärung.

The scope of the contract is clearly defined in the title page and ZVB. Such as: the subject is the purchase and delivery of 110 kg Ti-15Mo powder, with technical specifications contained in an attached detailed Leistungsbeschreibung that has binding priority over other descriptions. The place of performance/Erfüllungsort is, unless otherwise agreed, the “Sitz der empfangenden Dienststelle”, here specifically the TU Braunschweig, Institut für Werkstoffe, Langer Kamp 8, 38106 Braunschweig, with delivery “frei Verwendungsstelle.” The period is structured by procedure dates: dispatch of the tender on 12.10.2026, bid deadline on 03.11.2026 at 10:00, and a binding period ending 03.12.2026. Delivery time is to be stated by the bidder on the Leistungsverzeichnis (days/weeks/months). Teilleistungen (partial deliveries) are only allowed with consent of the contracting authority, and delivery dates must be coordinated in good time. The goods must comply with recognised technical rules, legal and regulatory requirements, and the technical standards listed in Annex 1 to the VgV.
The award criteria and weighting are simple and price-driven. Such as: according to the Aufforderung zur Angebotsabgabe, the sole Zuschlagskriterium is “Preis.” The evaluated price is determined from the “Wertungssumme”, calculated from the checked bid sum including any unconditional discounts (Preisnachlässe) expressed as a percentage on the final accounting sum at the designated place in the Angebotsschreiben; conditional discounts are not evaluated but become contractual if the bid wins. For offers from recognised “Werkstätten für Behinderte,” a 15% bonus is applied to the calculation of the Wertungssumme, and if such an offer is equally economical as the best competing offer, the award is made to the workshop for disabled persons. Where Nebenangebote are permitted (here: yes, except pure price-discount variants), they are evaluated alongside the main offer provided they meet all minimum technical requirements and are qualitatively and quantitatively equivalent.
The documents also describe risks and special conditions. Such as: the bidder commits in the Angebotsschreiben to a lump-sum damages payment of 15% of the gross accounting sum if they have demonstrably participated in unlawful anti-competitive arrangements, unless they prove a lower damage; this is in addition to TU Braunschweig’s right to terminate or rescind for such violations under the ZVB (Auftragsentziehung, §§ 7–8 VOL/B). Advance payments, where allowed, must be secured by an indefinite bank guarantee at the contractor’s cost. Subcontracting is strictly regulated: subcontractors must meet trade/professional requirements; their use must be notified (type/extent, name, address, Berufsgenossenschaft and member number), and for own-core services the contractor needs prior written approval under § 4 VOL/B. Conditions imposed on subcontractors must not be more disadvantageous than those between client and main contractor (e.g. payment, warranty, contract penalties). The validity period is the Bindefrist (until 03.12.2026) acknowledged in the Angebotsschreiben; non‑signed paper bids, non‑recognisable electronic bids in text form, or bids lacking required signatures/seals are excluded. Questions and clarifications must be raised “unverzüglich” in text form before bid submission, though no explicit cut‑off date is given beyond the general bid deadline. There is no reference to a mandatory site visit in the provided extracts.
Contradictions or corrections within the documents are addressed through contractual hierarchies and explicit priority rules. Such as: the ZVB state that the Leistungsbeschreibung has precedence over plans/drawings and that in case of contradictions the following order applies: contract, special conditions, supplementary conditions (ZVB), general technical conditions, VOL/B. The Langfassung of the Leistungsverzeichnis drafted by the client is expressly recognised by the bidder as solely binding, and any changes to the tender documents received are declared to be integral to the offer. In case of missing product data for positions marked “oder gleichwertig,” the documents clarify that the originally proposed product by the contracting authority will automatically be deemed offered if the bidder leaves manufacturer/type empty. Any unclear, incomplete or erroneous passages must be promptly reported to the contracting authority before bid submission under the Bewerbungsbedingungen; otherwise, the stated priority rules and written confirmations of deviations govern which statements apply.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 26/10/2026
