Technical preparation of breeding bird monitoring (2026-2028)

✓The place of performance/recipient is the Landesamt für Umwelt, Seeburger Chaussee 2, 14476 Potsdam, with a reference to Referat N3 in Nennhausen for differing details.

❓The contract period is three years (2026–2028), with service start “after award in early November” and annual completion of processing by 30 November of each year, plus an interim report as a partial service by 31 October each year.

✓A deadline extension for 2026 is mentioned as possible by agreement.

❓On award criteria and weighting, the text provided does not state explicit evaluation criteria or their relative weights (e.g. price vs. quality percentages).

❓It only notes that this is an “Öffentliche Ausschreibung nach UVgO” and that alternative bids (“Nebenangebote”) are not permitted, implying a standard UVgO evaluation framework but without concrete scoring rules.

✓Risks and special conditions arise from the contractual framework (VOL/B, ZVB‑Bbg, Vergabegesetz and wage clauses).

✓Such as: (i) strict minimum wage commitments under the Brandenburgisches Vergabegesetz and MiLoG, with contractual penalties of 1% of the contract value per proven violation (max. 25,000 EUR per case, overall 5%/250,000 EUR), extended to subcontractors; (ii) binding execution deadlines (annual completion by 30.11.) and the general VOL/B rules on delay, contractual penalties for late performance (up to 0.5% per week, max. 8% of the non‑usable part of the service, if such a clause is agreed), and possible termination for breach or insolvency; (iii) rules on subcontracting and capacity lending: essential parts of the service may only be transferred with prior consent of the contracting authority; under Form 4.3 and 4.4 subcontractors must be identified and bound, and the main contractor remains responsible; (iv) potential security (guarantee) obligations according to VOL/B §18 if a security is agreed above 50,000 EUR, with detailed requirements for guarantees and deposit accounts, though the excerpt does not confirm that a specific security is demanded for this contract.

✓The validity/binding period for offers runs until 04.12.2026; questions on tender documents must be submitted by 03.11.2026 at the latest.

❓No compulsory site visit is mentioned, which is consistent with the desk‑based nature of the data processing service.

✓Concerning contradictions or corrections, the documents themselves establish a hierarchy to resolve conflicts.

✓Such as VOL/B §1(2) and ZVB‑Bbg Nr. 1.1 specify that in case of inconsistencies, the following order applies: (a) the specific Leistungsbeschreibung and any special contractual conditions in the contract/award letter, (b) any supplementary/ additional contract conditions, (c) the ZVB‑Bbg, and (d) finally the general VOL/B conditions.

✓Additionally, the invitation letter repeats that the attached Bewerbungs‑, Vergabe‑ und Vertragsbedingungen apply, and that differing general terms of the bidder do not become part of the contract.
