The input text contains the EU‑Vergabeunterlagen for a construction contract “VE131 Erdarbeiten” (earthworks) for the Sanierung/Neubau einer Bundeswehrdienststelle in Kronshagen, Germany. The documents follow German procurement law (VOB/A, GWB) and are issued by Gebäudemanagement Schleswig‑Holstein AöR for the Bundesrepublik Deutschland. The perspective is clearly that of a German public contracting authority; no other countries are mentioned except in generic references to EU regulations and a Bundeswehr “Staatenliste” restricting product origin.
The text describes in detail what the bidder must submit and which minimum qualification requirements apply. Such as: bidders must use the prescribed GM.SH/VHB form sheets and submit electronically via the platform “meinauftrag.rib.de” in German. With the offer, they must provide at least the Angebotsschreiben (Formblatt 213) and the priced Leistungsverzeichnis (GAEB‑LV 26E00114 Erdarbeiten). For non‑prequalified firms, an “Eigenerklärung zur Eignung” (Formblatt 124) or alternatively an Einheitliche Europäische Eigenerklärung (EEE) is required, including turnover for the last three financial years in comparable works and a declaration of at least five years’ comparable references. On separate request (if the offer comes into closer consideration), they must submit reference certificates (three references with detailed content), evidence of average annual staff and management numbers, Gewerbeanmeldung/Handelsregisterauszug/Handwerkskarte or IHK‑Nachweis, Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigungen (Sozialkasse, Finanzamt, Berufsgenossenschaft), Freistellungsbescheinigung nach § 48b EStG, and other proofs listed in Formblatt 216. A minimum requirement is three years of continuous business activity of the bidder and any “andere Unternehmen” used. If the bidder relies on capacities of other companies (Eignungsleihe/subcontractors), he must name them in Formblatt 235 and, on request, provide Verpflichtungserklärungen (Formblatt 236) including joint liability where financial/economic capacity is borrowed. Bietergemeinschaften must complete Formblatt 234 and each member must prove suitability for its scope.

The scope of the contract is defined as earthworks for a main building with basement and underpasses plus two flat‑founded ancillary buildings at the Bundeswehr site in Kronshagen (postal code 24119, district DEF0B Rendsburg‑Eckernförde). Such as: Aushubmengen of about 26,000 m³ and Verfüllmengen of about 10,500 m³, extensive excavation and disposal positions for different Deponieklassen (DK I–III) and non‑hazardous construction waste (AVV‑Codes 170101/170102) with large quantities in tonnes, including interim storage, sampling, and time‑shifted backfilling according to construction progress. The performance period according to TED is from 01.04.2027 to 30.10.2030, with detailed Ausführungsfristen and contractual deadlines (Vertragsfristen) to be specified or derived from a Bauzeitenplan in the Besondere Vertragsbedingungen (Formblatt 214): beginning of earthworks in 2027 (linked to ground removal and building sequence 13A, 13B, then 13C) and corresponding completion deadlines. Place of performance is the fenced Bundeswehr site; the LV text outlines access rules, the need for passes from the Kasernenkommandanten, obligations to keep rescue routes free, restrictions on overnight stays, and use of designated BE‑ and storage areas.
The award criteria and weighting are relatively simple. Such as: the Zuschlagskriterium is exclusively “Preis”; the method described is that the Wertungssumme is derived from the checked offer sum, considering discounts, any Lohngleitklausel‑effects, and possible Instandhaltungsleistungen (though for this lot it is pure earthworks). Multiple award criteria are not applied apart from a specific bonus mechanism for offers from recognised Werkstätten für Behinderte, where a 15% bonus on the Wertungssumme is granted and, in case of equal economic result, the award goes to the workshop. All bidders must respect prohibitions on unzulässige Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen; the Angebotsschreiben includes a clause on a 15% pauschaler Schadensersatz of the gross contract sum if a prohibited anti‑competitive agreement is proven, unless a lower damage is evidenced.
Risks and special conditions are set mainly in the Besondere Vertragsbedingungen, the Teilnahmebedingungen, and the LV. Such as: contractual penalties (Vertragsstrafen) under § 11 VOB/B apply for each working day of delay against contractually agreed start, completion, or milestone dates, calculated as a daily amount or percentage of the net contract sum (or relevant partial sum), with an overall cap (percentage of the order sum). Security for contract performance (§ 17 VOB/B) is required at 5% of the gross contract value if the net order exceeds 250,000 EUR; security for defects is 3% of the provisional settlement sum; both, if provided by guarantees, must use the client’s standard forms (Vertragserfüllungs‑, Mängelansprüche‑, Abschlags-/Vorauszahlungsbürgschaft). Subcontracting and Eignungsleihe entail the risk of joint liability and replacement of unsuitable or excluded other companies within a set deadline. The offer must remain binding for 60 days after the submission deadline (10.11.2026, 09:10) and must be submitted electronically in text form via the platform; variants and multiple main offers are not allowed in this procedure, and Nebenangebote are explicitly “nicht zugelassen”. Questions and clarifications must be raised promptly; the latest date for requesting additional information is 03.11.2026, 23:59. Site‑specific risks include: following a SiGeKo‑Baustellenordnung (contractual document), film and photography ban at the site (though technical documentation of the work field is allowed), the Bundeswehr Staatenliste banning products from certain countries, strict access and logistics rules, and special handling and documentation of waste and disposal routes. For any “Heißarbeiten” (welding, cutting, etc.), an Erlaubnisschein must be completed and approved before work.
Regarding contradictions or corrections, the documents contain some generic framework clauses that are overridden by the specific checkboxes and notes in this tender. Such as: the Teilnahmebedingungen EU speak extensively about Nebenangebote and their minimum requirements, but the Aufforderung zur Angebotsabgabe (Formblatt 211) explicitly states under section 6.1 that Nebenangebote are not permitted for this procedure, so the prohibition in Formblatt 211 prevails. The general possibility of submitting multiple Hauptangebote (Formblatt 211, section 5) is deactivated by the marking “nicht zugelassen”, so bidders may only submit one main offer despite the model text mentioning the alternative. Likewise, Formblatt 214 lists two options for securities (“verzichtet” vs. “Sicherheit zu leisten”); in this tender the option with 5% performance security and 3% defect security is activated for contracts above 250,000 EUR, so that clause applies. Any references to later paper submission are superseded by the explicit requirement in the Bekanntmachung and Formblatt 211/216 that offers must be submitted exclusively electronically via the platform. Where the text states that missing documents “werden nachgefordert”, this is concretised in Formblatt 211 section 3.3 and Formblatt 216: all demanded documents except price information can be requested after the deadline at the contracting authority’s discretion. In cases of doubt, the Langtext‑Leistungsverzeichnis and the marked options in the GM.SH forms (211, 214, 216, 227) govern, as explicitly confirmed in the Angebotsschreiben declaration that the long version of the LV is “alleinverbindlich”.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 24/10/2026
