Public Tender for Maintenance and Inspection of Telecommunications and IT Systems at DIfE (Brandenburg, Germany)

The input text concerns a German public procurement procedure under the legal and contractual framework of the State of Brandenburg, specifically a works contract for the maintenance and inspection of telecommunications and information technology at the Deutsches Institut für Ernährungsforschung Potsdam‑Rehbrücke (DIfE).

It reflects the point of view of German public procurement law and Brandenburg’s Vergabegesetz, including references to the Unterschwellenvergabeordnung, VOL/B, and state-specific additional contract conditions.

Such as a typical public tender, the documents first set out what the bidder must submit and the minimum qualification requirements.

The bidder must provide an offer letter (Form 3.3) and a fully completed bill of quantities/Leistungsverzeichnis.

With the offer, the bidder must submit: the Eigenerklärung Ausschlussgründe (Form 4.1), the Erklärung Unteraufträge/Eignungsleihe (Form 4.3) including any commitment from third parties (Form 4.4 if applicable), the Vereinbarung Mindestanforderungen BbgVergG (Form 5.3) and, where Nachunternehmer or Verleiher are used, the corresponding Vereinbarung Mindestanforderungen NU/Verleiher (Form 5.4).

In addition, the bidder must provide proof of registration in a professional or commercial register and evidence of a professional or business liability insurance, supported by an “Eigenerklärung zur Haftpflichtversicherung”.

Furthermore, the Leistungsbeschreibung requires all necessary Fachbetriebszulassungen relevant to the scope of services, and bidders must comply with all applicable norms, laws, and technical rules, flagging any contradictions in the Leistungsverzeichnis in writing with the bid.

Such as for the scope of the contract, the documents explain that the DIfE intends to award a works contract for the regular maintenance and functional testing of telecommunication and information technology installations on two sites: “Gelände E” at Arthur‑Scheunert‑Allee 114‑116 and “Gelände V” at Arthur‑Scheunert‑Allee 155 in Nuthetal.

The detailed technical scope and quantities are set out in the “Sicherheitstechnische Anlagen DIfE KG 450 LV” files.

The service includes not only performance of maintenance and inspection but also documentation, e.g. maintenance and test protocols, and documentation/transfer of data backups.

Contract start is 01.01.2027, with an initial term of 2 years, automatically extendable by one year at a time to a maximum total term of 4 years unless terminated in writing 3 months before expiry.

Execution times must be coordinated with the DIfE’s technical department; the work is to be integrated into ongoing operations and disturbances to users must be minimized and pre‑agreed.

Such as the award criteria and weighting, the tender clearly specifies that the contract will be awarded to the “wirtschaftlichstes Angebot” where the sole evaluation factor is price with a weighting of 100%.

Nebenangebote are generally not permitted in the Aufforderung zur Angebotsabgabe, while the general Bewerbungsbedingungen mention that only certain innovative, energy‑efficient Nebenangebote would be admissible in other procedures, but here they are expressly excluded.

Prices must be formed in free competition, be reasonable, stated in euros as net unit and total prices per position, and include all incidental costs such as travel, transport, packing and other related services.

Offered lump‑sum prices are fixed prices; costs for preparing the bid are not reimbursed.

Such as with risks and special conditions, the documents describe multiple contractual obligations and sanctions.

There is also a separate “Lohngleit- und Preisanpassungsklausel” regulating reimbursement of wage‑related cost increases due to changes in the statutory minimum wage, subject to thresholds and documentation of the performance status.

The Landes‑Vertragsbedingungen introduce rules on damages, limitation of liability (e.g. exclusion of lost profit in certain cases), potential security requirements for advance payments (such as bank guarantees), subcontracting approvals, and general VOL/B provisions on defects, warranty, and dispute resolution.

Regarding procedural risks, questions must be submitted via the Vergabemarktplatz Brandenburg communication area by the specified deadline (30.10.2026); bids must be submitted electronically (with e‑signature) by 05.11.2026, 10:00, and remain binding until 04.12.2026.

All communication and documents must be in German; bidders’ own general terms and conditions are explicitly excluded from becoming part of the contract.

Such as for contradictions or corrections, the hierarchy and clarification rules are explicitly set.

In case of contradictions within the contract documents, the additional contractual conditions (ZVB‑Bbg) stipulate that the Leistungsbeschreibung prevails over special conditions, which in turn prevail over supplementary and additional conditions, technical terms, and finally the VOL/B.

Changes by the bidder to the Vergabeunterlagen, especially the Leistungsverzeichnis, are prohibited and lead to exclusion.

Questions and clarifications shared in the project room of the Vergabemarktplatz, as well as responses, automatically become part of the tender documents and are authoritative for all bidders.
