ZV-L9-26-1034000-412 .05 Procurement of LC-Triple-Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer

✓Offers must be submitted electronically in German via the RIB/GM.SH e‑Vergabe platform by 20/11/2026, 07:30, and remain valid for 57 days; public opening is scheduled for 23/11/2026, 09:00.

✓Such as in the Bewertungsmatrix and TED extract, the award criteria are clearly set and weighted: “Qualität des Angebotes: technische Daten/Anforderungen des Gerätes” with a weighting of 70 %, and “Preis” with a weighting of 30 %.

✓Quality is assessed on detailed technical performance, including sensitivity rankings for specified analytes (Okadasäure positive/negative, Ipronidazol, Chloramphenicol, Ibuprofen, Clenbuterol, Diclofenac, Ketoprofen), linearity (r² thresholds), repeatability, and quality of training/commissioning, using a 1,000‑point matrix (700 points quality, 300 points price).

✓The bidder with highest sensitivity for each analyte receives the maximum points for that sub‑criterion, subsequent ranks receive decreasing points, and offers failing minimum sensitivity get only 1 point (no negative points).

✓Price scoring uses the Wertungssumme derived from recalculated offer totals accounting for unconditional percentage discounts recorded at the specified place in the Angebotsschreiben.

✓Such as in the “Zusätzliche Vertragsbedingungen”, “Bewerbungsbedingungen” and TED “Zusätzliche Informationen”, the risks and special conditions for bidders are defined.

✓There is a strict anti‑corruption and anti‑cartel regime: proven collusive arrangements, bribery or related offences under StGB §§ 298, 299, 333, 334 and UWG §§ 17, 18 can lead to immediate termination under § 314 BGB, a lump‑sum damages claim of 15 % of the settlement sum (for collusion) or a contractual penalty of 5 % (for bribery/related acts), without prejudice to further claims.

✓The VOL/B 2003 general conditions plus GM.SH “Zusätzliche Allgemeine Vertragsbedingungen” and “Ergänzende Vertragsbedingungen” become contract parts; any bidder AGB are prohibited and lead to exclusion.

✓The contract stipulates formal acceptance, transfer of risk at delivery/acceptance, and that prices include packaging, transport to site and disposal of packaging, plus patent/licence fees.

✓Subcontracting is allowed but must be declared with type and scope of work and identified subcontractors; in case of Eignungsleihe, the third parties must jointly and severally guarantee performance.

✓Professional liability insurance must be in place or guaranteed at specified limits throughout the contract term.

✓Bids must be in German, use the prescribed forms, be electronically submitted, and may not contain variants or multiple main offers; Nebenangebote are expressly “nicht zugelassen” in the Angebotsaufforderung, so the “Bewerbungsbedingungen” provisions on Nebenangebote apply only where the header indicates they are allowed, which is not the case here.

✓Such as in the instructions on “Mitteilung von Unklarheiten” and the TED section on review deadlines, contradictions and corrections are handled via bidder questions and formal clarifications.

✓Bidders must promptly notify the contracting authority of any perceived ambiguities before bid submission; questions must be submitted in writing via the e‑Vergabesystem or email by 13/11/2026, 10:00.

✓The TED notice also clarifies that performance‑related documents used for economic evaluation under award criteria cannot be post‑submitted; only certain non‑performance bidder documents may be requested after the deadline, at the buyer’s discretion, and price details are only partially subject to correction rules.

✓For legal protection, bidders must follow GWB §§ 160 ff. complaint and review deadlines; any alleged violations evident from the notice or documents must be complained of by the end of the submission period, later‑discovered issues within ten days, and review applications within 15 days after rejection of a complaint, with specific longer limits for contracts declared ineffective under §§ 134, 135 GWB.
