Vergabeunterlagen „Einzelfallstudie AL 7 – Artenreicher Ackerrandstreifen, 2027“ (LfULG Sachsen)
The input text concerns a German national public procurement procedure conducted by the Freistaat Sachsen, vertreten durch das Sächsische Landesamt für Umwelt, Landwirtschaft und Geologie (LfULG).
It sets out the conditions for a Werkvertrag on the “Einzelfallstudie AL 7 – Artenreicher Ackerrandstreifen, 2027”, i.e. a case study within the agrienvironmental measure AL 7 under the EPLR.
The point of view throughout is that of a German contracting authority applying VOL/A, VOL/B, the Sächsisches Vergabegesetz and its own “ZVB” and “BBL” conditions.
As background, the procedure is an öffentliche Ausschreibung (public tender) for a non-construction service contract: naturschutzfachliche Begleitung und vegetationskundliche Erfassung von artenreichen Ackerrandstreifen.
The contract is structured into three Lose (1–3), each defined by specific Untersuchungsflächen (study areas) within Saxony (as indicated by maps and references to Landesweite Zufallsstichprobe, Förderflächen).
The contracting authority provides electronic Vergabeunterlagen via the Saxon e‑tendering platform but requires that the actual Angebot be submitted in Schriftform (hard copy) by post or personal delivery.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification, the documents specify that only the provided forms are to be used (such as the “Eigenerklärung”, Kostenverzeichnis je Los, Erklärung Bietergemeinschaft, Angaben für Abfrage Wettbewerbsregister).
The offer must be vollständig, unterschrieben and contain only prices and the requested declarations.
For economic/financial capacity, a vollständig ausgefülltes Formular „Eigenerklärung“ is mandatory, including statements about payment of taxes and social contributions, minimum wage compliance, exclusion grounds under VOL/A and MiLoG, and indication of any Skonto.
For technical/professional capacity, bidders must submit: qualifications of the intended staff, references for floristic and vegetation surveys in open land during the last three years, designation of a responsible contact person, names and tasks of all staff assigned, and a description of internal quality assurance.
In case of Bietergemeinschaften, an additional declaration listing all members and a bevollmächtigter Vertreter with joint and several liability is required.
Show all 32 statements
Use of Nachunternehmer is allowed only with prior written consent; the bidder must list the type and scope of subcontracted services and UA data.
While no explicit minimum annual turnover figure is stated, there is an implicit insurance requirement (proof of Berufsgenossenschaft coverage and the ZVB provision allowing contract termination if liability insurance lapses).
Concerning the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the “Leistungsbeschreibung” and Kostenverzeichnisse detail tasks such as Auftaktberatung, contacting and interviewing Bewirtschafter, selecting Untersuchungsflächen, field recording on defined numbers of Flächen and Transekte (e.g. 12 Flächen and 54 Transekte in Los 2), data entry into an MS‑Access database, GIS digitisation of field data (shape‑Dateien), GPS recording, and creation of a Abschlussbericht plus a max. two‑page Kurzfassung for internet presentation.
The place of performance is Saxony (various Förderflächen under AL 7) with delivery of results to the LfULG (Abteilung Naturschutz, Landschaftspflege).
The Ausführungsfristen are per Los: according to the Aufforderung zur Abgabe eines Angebots 01.05.2027–01.11.2027, while the Eigenerklärung mentions Liefertermin 01.05.2027–30.11.2027; the controlling hierarchy clause in the ZVB means the Leistungsbeschreibung/Aufforderung prevails over conflicting statements elsewhere.
The Angebotsfrist ends on 19.11.2026, Bindefrist is until 22.01.2027, and the Zuschlag is to be granted in writing within the binding period.
Offers must quote a Festpreis including all incidental costs, and prices must be in euros with two decimal places, shown net plus applicable VAT rate, based on a detailed person‑hours calculation.
Regarding award criteria and weighting, the documents are explicit: Zuschlagskriterium is solely “Preis 100 %”.
Technical and qualitative aspects are treated as Eignungskriterien (eligibility) rather than as award criteria.
Thus, provided bidders meet the stated qualification requirements and formal conditions, the lowest compliant price will obtain the award.
Price law PR Nr. 30/53 may be applied; if the offered price is deemed price‑rechtlich unzulässig, the legally admissible price is deemed the offer price.
Nebenangebote are not permitted in this procedure, as explicitly stated in the Anlage zu den Vergabeunterlagen; any Nebenangebote without a Hauptangebot would be impermissible in any case.
As to risks and special conditions, the contract is a Werkvertrag subject to VOL/B and the LfULG ZVB.
Payment is made once, after acceptance of the Abschlussbericht and all digital deliverables, within 30 days after receipt of a proper invoice; a voluntary Skonto deduction applies if payment occurs within 14 days, per the percentage stated by the bidder in the Eigenerklärung.
All prices are fixed and must include insurance, packaging, transport and all ancillary costs; additional remuneration for side services or IP rights is excluded unless expressly agreed in writing.
The ZVB provide for contractual penalties and the right to Rücktritt/Kündigung in specific cases, such as bribery or undue advantages, lapsing liability insurance, serious breach of performance obligations, or false statements regarding reliability and capability.
Subcontracting without written approval and imposing worse conditions on Nachunternehmer than those agreed with the LfULG are prohibited.
There is a strict confidentiality obligation for all Vergabeunterlagen and performance data, reinforced by data protection requirements under DSGVO; after award, the contractor must fill in a separate “Erklärung Auftragsverarbeitung” specifying technical and organisational measures for processing personal data.
Questions on the tender must be submitted in good time before the Angebotsfrist, and answers are communicated via evergabe.sachsen.de or email, with telephone enquiries expressly excluded.
Any contradictions within the documents are resolved according to ZVB Nr. 1.2, which sets a hierarchy: first the Leistungsbeschreibung including the “Eigenerklärung” form, then the bidder’s offer, then any Besondere Vertragsbedingungen (including AVV for data processing), followed by the ZVB, VOL/B, statutory law, and finally technical standards—meaning that, such as in the differing end dates 01.11 vs. 30.11.2027, the specific Leistungsbeschreibung/Aufforderung governs.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 25/10/2026
