✓Economic/financial capacity and specific turnover or insurance proofs are explicitly marked as “entfällt” (not required); professional licence is covered via adherence to the BbgVergG and its form sheets.

✓The Eigenerklärung covers exclusion grounds (e.g. corruption, tax/social contribution breaches, labour law, Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz) and must also be obtained from subcontractors before contract award.

✓Concerning award criteria and weighting, the Bekanntmachung states clearly that the award goes to the “wirtschaftlichstes Angebot” with the single award criterion “Niedrigster Preis”.

✓No qualitative subcriteria or weightings are foreseen; thus, as long as bidders meet the suitability (references, formal declarations, BbgVergG compliance) and submit complete, compliant documents, the lowest total price is decisive.

✓Nebenangebote (variants) are explicitly allowed; their admissibility is subject to the minimum requirements specified in the tender documents (though these specific minimum requirements are only generically referenced, not detailed in the extracted text).

✓Such as laid down in VOL/B and Formular 5.3, there are several risks and special conditions.

✓VOL/B governs, for example, execution duties (§ 4), obstruction and interruption (§ 5), quality control (§ 12), acceptance (§ 13), defect rights and limitation (§ 14), invoicing (§ 15) and payment (§ 17).

✓Contractual penalties (§ 11 VOL/B) are only effective if specifically agreed; limits are: max. 0.5 % per full week of delay on the value of the non-usable part of the performance and overall max. 8 %.

✓Separate from that, Formular 5.3 (BbgVergG) creates a substantial risk of contractual penalties: for each proven culpable underpayment of wages (relative to MiLoG/BbgVergG thresholds) or refusal to allow controls, a penalty of 1 % of the contract sum up to 25,000 EUR per case applies, capped in total at 5 % (max. 250,000 EUR); this also must be mirrored in subcontractor/agency contracts.

✓Formular 5.3 also grants the client a special termination right in case of breaches and allows reporting to a central exclusion list.

✓No security (guarantee) is required for this contract (“Sicherheitsleistungen: keine”), despite the general VOL/B rules (§ 18).

✓Subcontracting of essential parts of the service is only allowed with prior consent (§ 4 Abs. 4 VOL/B) and must be declared via 4.3.

✓The bid validity (“Bindefrist”) ends on 06.11.2026; questions can be submitted until 02.11.2026.

❓A mandatory site visit is not mentioned.

✓Termination and dispute resolution follow VOL/B § 8, § 9 and § 19, with exclusive jurisdiction at the seat of the authority’s legal representative if § 38 ZPO conditions are met.

✓With respect to contradictions or corrections, VOL/B § 1 Nr. 2 establishes a clear hierarchy in case of conflicting statements: (a) Leistungsbeschreibung, (b) Besondere Vertragsbedingungen, (c) Ergänzende Vertragsbedingungen, (d) Zusätzliche Vertragsbedingungen, (e) allgemeine Technische Vertragsbedingungen, (f) VOL/B.

✓In the present case, the specific Leistungsbeschreibung/ Aufgabenstellung (e.g. deadline 31.12.2026, data formats) prevails over general VOL/B clauses.

✓There is no explicit contradiction between the Bekanntmachung (“Leistungen sollen bis 31.12.2026 abgeschlossen werden”) and the Aufgabenstellung (data delivery by 31.12.2026); these statements are consistent.

✓Possible tension between VOL/B’s abstract rule on securities (§ 18) and the Bekanntmachung (“Sicherheitsleistungen: keine”) is resolved by the Bekanntmachung as the special rule: no security is owed.

✓Likewise, while VOL/B allows contractual penalties “wenn vereinbart”, Formular 5.3 concretely introduces wage-related penalties; as a specific contractual condition for this contract, it applies and complements VOL/B.
