Public procurement for IT equipment in Brandenburg (Linux notebooks and Android tablets)
The input text concerns a German public procurement procedure under the Unterschwellenvergabeordnung (UVgO) and the Brandenburgisches Vergabegesetz, specifically for the Landesbetrieb Forst Brandenburg.
The point of view is that of a public contracting authority in Germany (federal law, GWB, MiLoG, AEntG, DSGVO) and the federal state of Brandenburg (BbgVergG), setting conditions for bidders supplying IT hardware (Linux notebooks and Android tablets) to an Eberswalde-based authority.
Such as regarding what the bidder must submit, the documents list a structured “Zusammenstellung der einzureichenden Nachweise”.
With the offer, bidders must provide: the completed Angebotsanschreiben/Angebotsdeckblatt (CSX 51), the form 4.1 “Eigenerklärung Ausschlussgründe”, form 5.3 “Vereinbarung Mindestanforderungen BbgVergG”, the EVB‑IT Kaufverträge for Linux notebooks and Android tablets (accepted and returned as part of the offer), the filled Leistungsverzeichnisse (requirement tables) for both lots, product/technical data sheets, plus firm registration evidence (Gewerbeanmeldung, Handelsregisterauszug, Handwerkskarte/IHK-Eintrag).
For Lot 1 the Leistungsbeschreibung further requires specific technical manufacturer documents: filled requirement table with product-merit and page references, manufacturer data sheet for the notebook, Linux support declaration, OS and recovery descriptions, support/guarantee description, component listings (SSD/WLAN/RAM) and confirmations on five‑year availability of recovery and Linux support.
Additional bidder information (CSX 59) must be provided for eForms, including national identification number (e.g.
VAT ID, Handelsregister number), company size class and owner nationality.
Such as concerning minimum qualifications, reliability and insurance, the Angebotsdeckblatt requires declarations that the company meets its tax and social security obligations and holds necessary Gewerberecht permissions.
UVgO and GWB provisions apply: serious misconduct under §§ 123, 124 GWB leads to exclusion unless “Selbstreinigung” is proven.
The authority may request proof of entry in professional registers and BG certificates.
Via forms 5.3 and 5.4, bidders and their subcontractors/temporary-work providers commit to paying at least the Brandenburg minimum wage (currently 13,00 €; MiLoG federal minimum from 1.1.2026: 13,90 €) and to allow audits, with detailed contractual penalty regimes for violations.
Such as regarding scope of contract (what, how much, where, when), the procedure covers two lots: “Linux Notebooks” (Los 1) and “Android Tablets” (Los 2) as an IT sandbox for the Landeskompetenzzentrum Forst Eberswalde.
Show all 23 statements
Lot 1 explicitly mentions delivery of eight fully configured devices; delivery has to be “frei Haus” to Alfred‑Möller‑Straße 1, 16225 Eberswalde, with identical hardware/software state across devices, full inventory lists, documentation of OS and hardware, and handover of all accessories.
Performance and abnahme place is the receiving service’s seat; deliveries are “frei Verwendungsstelle” with risk transfer only upon acceptance at the receiving office (weekdays 8:30–14:00).
Such as when looking at award criteria and weighting, the provided text does not explicitly list qualitative or price weighting scales, but it references price legality under PR Nr. 30/53 (prices at public contracts) and indicates that if the offered price is illegal under price law, the legally permissible price will apply.
Skonto is only evaluated for payment terms of at least 14 days.
The UVgO references (e.g. § 46) govern notification of unsuccessful bidders and publication of results but concrete scoring criteria (e.g. 60 % price, 40 % quality) are not detailed in the excerpt.
Subcontracting and Eignungsleihe are regulated via forms 4.3 and 4.4; subcontractors must be named with their work shares, and their capacities proven; for Eignungsleihe the third party must issue a Verpflichtungserklärung and, in some cases, share joint liability.
Bietergemeinschaften must submit a joint declaration naming a lead member and accepting joint and several liability.
The binding period and withdrawal rules are clear: offers can be withdrawn electronically on the Vergabemarktplatz Brandenburg until the end of the offer deadline; afterwards the bidder is bound until the end of the Bindefrist; offers are excluded if they modify the tender documents or are declared non‑binding.
Additional questions on tender documents must be submitted by 30.10.2026; there is no mention of mandatory site visits in the excerpt.
Such as relating to contradictions or corrections within the documents, the hierarchy of applicable conditions is clearly defined: for VOL/B, in case of contradictions, the order is (a) Leistungsbeschreibung, (b) Besondere Vertragsbedingungen, (c) Ergänzende Vertragsbedingungen, (d) Zusätzliche Vertragsbedingungen, (e) Allgemeine Technische Vertragsbedingungen, (f) VOL/B itself; for the LFB-specific ZVB‑Bbg/LFB and ZVB‑Bbg, the order is (a) Angebot plus Leistungsbeschreibung and attached documents per Auftragsschreiben, (b) any special contract conditions, (c) any complementary contract conditions, (d) these ZVB, (e) VOL/B.
Changes to tender documents by bidders are explicitly prohibited and lead to exclusion, so if a bidder’s submission conflicts with the given forms or EVB‑IT contracts, the authority will rely on the tender documents as binding and disregard or reject deviating statements.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 27/10/2026
