Vergabeunterlagen Technische Hochschule Brandenburg – Öffentliche Ausschreibung PCs und Monitore
The input text concerns a public procurement procedure under the Unterschwellenvergabeordnung (UVgO) for the Technische Hochschule Brandenburg in Germany (Land Brandenburg).
It reflects the German public procurement framework, including the Brandenburgisches Vergabegesetz and EU rules (e.g. sanctions regulation against Russia, GDPR).
The point of view is that of a German contracting authority in the federal state of Brandenburg setting conditions for bidders supplying IT equipment (PCs and monitors) to a university.
Such as background, the documents combine several standard forms: the THB-Angebotsformulare-UVgO-Bietererklaerungen (offer cover sheet plus self-declaration on exclusion grounds and on minimum labour standards), the Landes-Brandenburg contract conditions (ZVB-Bbg mit VOL/B), the Brandenburg procurement law addendum (Formular 5.1/5.3), the GDPR information sheet (Formular 3.2), and specific tender documents (CSX 32, CSX 42, CSX 43, Leistungsverzeichnis.xlsx) for procedure VA-2026-518 “KI-Labor: PCs + Monitore”.
These define how to submit the bid electronically, what mandatory forms to include, and which statutory labour, social and anti-corruption requirements apply.
What the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements: such as stated in CSX 32 and CSX 43, bidders must always submit (1) the completed THB-Angebotsformulare-UVgO-Bietererklaerungen.rtf, including the Kartellerklärung, details of the Berufsgenossenschaft, existence and sum of a liability insurance, KMU status and any subcontracting/Eignungsleihe declarations, plus a legally binding signature (or name/date in text form); and (2) the Leistungsverzeichnis.xlsx in original, editable Excel format with all price positions filled (no renaming, no PDF, otherwise exclusion).
Additionally, bidders must attach an “Angebotsdokument mit konkreter Produktbezeichnung und -beschreibung” and separate detailed product specifications (e.g. from their IT system).
The minimum legal/ethical qualification is ensured through the Eigenerklärung Ausschlussgründe (no corruption, money laundering, serious offences, tax/social security breaches, insolvency, or serious professional misconduct) and the Russia relations declaration (no persons/companies with Russian ties as per EU Regulation 833/2014 involved above 10% of the contract value).
There are no explicit turnover or reference thresholds mentioned, but proof of membership in a professional accident insurance (Berufsgenossenschaft) and liability insurance is mandatory via self-declaration.
Scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when): such as specified in the Aufforderung zur Abgabe eines Angebots (CSX 32), the contract relates to the supply of PCs and monitors for a “KI-Labor”.
Quantities and technical specifications are detailed in the attached Leistungsverzeichnis.xlsx and CSX 33 – Leistungsverzeichnis (not fully quoted here, but referenced as governing the items).

Place of performance/delivery is the Technische Hochschule Brandenburg, Magdeburger Str. 50, 14770 Brandenburg an der Havel (delivery location “DELiefer- / Leistungsort”).
Time-wise, end of bid submission is 05.11.2026, 09:00; end of award/binding period is 30.11.2026; delivery shall be completed by 30.11.2026 and invoicing also in 2026.
The general contract conditions (VOL/B and ZVB-Bbg) define that the contract covers the supply (including transport, installation, set-up and any training) and that prices are fixed and include freight, packaging and German-language documentation.
Award criteria and weighting: such as laid out in CSX 42 – Angebotswertungsmethoden und -kriterien, the chosen evaluation method is “Für die Wirtschaftlichkeit ist allein der niedrigste Preis entscheidend.” That means only price is evaluated; no qualitative or technical scoring criteria beyond conformity with the specifications.
The lowest-priced compliant and eligible bid wins; there are no further weighted criteria listed.
Risks and special conditions (penalties, guarantees, subcontracting, validity period, question deadline, site visit): such as in the contract conditions 5.0 and Form 5.3, there are extensive obligations and risks.
The bidder must pay at least statutory minimum wages: either the Brandenburg Vergabegesetz minimum (currently 13,00 €/h) or the higher Federal Minimum Wage (MiLoG, 13,90 €/h as of 01.01.2026); while MiLoG is higher, the detailed Brandenburg minimum-entgelt monitoring provisions (5.3) “ruhen” and only re-apply once the Brandenburg minimum overtakes MiLoG.
The bidder must commit to monthly payment of wages via bank accounts, keep complete, German-language employment and payment records, and tolerate random checks, including access of the contracting authority to business premises and pseudonymised payroll documents.
For delivery contracts, bidders must provide anonymised/pseudonymised wage/time records linked to the persons performing transport, installation, mounting and instruction; for service contracts at least once per year or per partial invoice.
Non-compliance can lead to reporting to Zoll (minimum wage and posting-of-workers laws), contract termination, exclusion from future tenders for up to three years (Auftragssperre) and entry in a central blacklist, with a limited “self-cleaning” option.
Contractual special conditions include: possible contractual penalties (Vertragsstrafe) up to a general ceiling of 5% of the relevant part of the performance (max. 8% only in special individual agreements) for delay, detailed rules on warranty, denial of first-demand guarantees, security only above 50,000 € if agreed, and strict rules on subcontracting – significant parts may only be subcontracted with prior written consent, with the same minimum-wage control obligations passed down via Form 5.4.
The binding period of the offer lasts until 30.11.2026; questions on the tender must be submitted via the portal’s communication tool by 29.10.2026; submission and withdrawal of bids is only via the Vergabemarktplatz Brandenburg’s bidder tool; no site visit is mentioned.
Contradictions or corrections within the documents (which statement applies?): such as governed by VOL/B § 1 and the ZVB-Bbg, in case of inconsistencies the hierarchy is: (a) the Leistungsbeschreibung (including Leistungsverzeichnis.xlsx) prevails, then (b) Besondere Vertragsbedingungen, then (c) Ergänzende Vergabebedingungen (e.g.
BbgVergG 5.1/5.3), then (d) Zusätzliche Vertragsbedingungen (ZVB-Bbg), then (e) Allgemeine Technische Vertragsbedingungen, and lastly (f) VOL/B.
Additionally, CSX 32 clarifies that the THB-Angebotsformulare-UVgO-Bietererklaerungen and the Leistungsverzeichnis.xlsx must always be submitted and in their specified formats; any deviating bidder terms, altered file formats or missing mandatory starred fields (Kartell, Berufsgenossenschaft, Haftpflichtversicherung, KMU) are invalid and lead to exclusion.
Where wage provisions seem to overlap (Brandenburg minimum entgelt vs. MiLoG), the text itself resolves the apparent contradiction by stating that the Brandenburg-specific enforcement rules do not apply while the federal minimum wage is higher; thus, during the period when MiLoG > Bbg minimum, the federal minimum wage provisions govern the minimum level, and the Brandenburg minimum-entgelt monitoring rules are temporarily inoperative but will revive once the Brandenburg minimum again exceeds MiLoG.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 28/10/2026
