3620_EU_241126 Drywall works

Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the text details, for example, Formblatt 216 “Verzeichnis der im Vergabeverfahren vorzulegenden Unterlagen”. With the offer, bidders must submit the Angebotsschreiben (FB 213 EU), the priced bill of quantities (Leistungsverzeichnis mit Preisen), and, if applicable, forms like 224 (Lohngleitklausel), 233 (Nachunternehmerleistungen), 234 (Bieter-/Arbeitsgemeinschaft), 235 (Leistungen/Kapazitäten anderer Unternehmen), 248 (Holzprodukte) and any required Instandhaltungsvertrag. On request, further documents such as Eigenerklärung zur Eignung (FB 124 or EEE), PQ-number, at least three references from the last five years, evidence of average staff numbers, trade registration, Handwerkskarte/Handelsregisterauszug, tax and social fund clearance certificates, BG-uncertainty/insurance confirmations, and product data sheets must be provided. As such, turnover data for the last three financial years and comparable reference projects are demanded via the Eigenerklärung, but the notice explicitly states that there are “keine” concrete, project-specific minimum thresholds for turnover.

Concerning the scope of the contract – what, how much, where, when – the documents describe, for instance, that the performance concerns Trockenbauarbeiten for the Neubau eines Gebäudekomplexes “Jugendtreff und Kindertagesstätte Asperger Str. 41–43” in 70439 Stuttgart‑Stammheim. The precise quantities and technical specifications are contained in the Leistungsverzeichnis (including example positions for walls, shafts and suspended ceilings). Timewise, the Besondere Vertragsbedingungen (FB 214) stipulate that works start on 08.02.2027 and must be completed (abnahmereif) by 09.10.2027; these dates and any single deadlines in the Bauzeitenplan are declared Vertragsfristen. Furthermore, the contract location is tied to Stuttgart, with the Vergabestelle and project server being provided by the City, and all communication and documentation to be handled electronically as specified.

As for award criteria and weighting, the Aufforderung zur Angebotsabgabe (FB 211 EU) explains, for example, that the main Zuschlagskriterium is the price, determined from the “Wertungssumme” of the offer after recalculation of the total, including unconditional discounts, potential effects from Lohngleitklausel, and any maintenance offers. No multi-criteria weighting is described for this tender beyond a special 15 % “Bonus” for offers from recognised Werkstätten für Behinderte: their offers receive a 15 % bonus in the price comparison, and if such an offer is equally economical, it gets the award. The selection criteria in the notice also mention qualitative “Eignungskriterien” such as tools/equipment, share of subcontracting, turnover and registration in relevant professional registers, but these serve to assess suitability rather than contribute to a separate points-based award weighting.

The text also outlines risks and special conditions, such as penalties, guarantees, subcontracting, bid validity, question deadlines and procedural constraints. For example, Besondere Vertragsbedingungen specify contractual penalties (Vertragsstrafe) for each day of delay in meeting contractual deadlines, capped at 5 % of the net final account sum, and refer to VOB/B § 11. Financial securities include a 5 % contract performance security (if the net contract exceeds 250,000 €) and a 3 % security for defects claims, typically provided as self-contained guarantees using forms 421 (Vertragserfüllungsbürgschaft) and 422 (Mängelansprüchebürgschaft). Subcontracting is strictly controlled: all intended Nachunternehmerleistungen must be specified by exact LV‑OZ in FB 233/235, with vague entries such as “teilweise Montagearbeiten” being prohibited, and for “Eignungsleihe” the other companies must jointly and severally assume liability, documented via FB 236. The offer must remain valid for 60 days; missing documents requested with the offer can be submitted later under § 16a EU VOB/A at the buyer’s discretion. There is a clear deadline and procedure for asking questions (at least 3 working days before start of the answer period under § 12a EU VOB/A). Site visit requirements are not explicitly mentioned in the extracted text.

Finally, the documents address contradictions or corrections, indicating which statements apply. For example, the Teilnahmebedingungen (212 EU) extensively describe the handling of Nebenangebote, yet the Aufforderung zur Angebotsabgabe (211 EU) explicitly contains alternative clauses: either “Nebenangebote sind nicht zugelassen” or “Nebenangebote sind zugelassen …”. For this specific tender the text clearly marks “Nebenangebote sind nicht zugelassen; Nummer 4 der Teilnahmebedingungen gilt nicht”, meaning that the prohibition in 211 EU overrides the general rules in 212 EU. Similarly, the Besondere Vertragsbedingungen (214) state both “Auf Sicherheit für die Vertragserfüllung wird verzichtet” and, in the next sentence, the obligation to provide 5 % security if the contract sum exceeds 250,000 €; these are structured alternatives, and the ticked version for this contract is the one requiring security (as confirmed by the TED notice text). Where bidders find perceived inconsistencies, they are instructed, such as in the Hinweise der Vergabestelle, to raise formal bidder questions before submission rather than explaining deviations in a cover letter, because unilateral clarifications could be treated as unauthorised changes to tender documents and thus lead to exclusion under § 13 and § 16 VOB/A.
