Landschaftsbauarbeiten BAS-Lose der Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart und Nutzung der Vergabeplattform RIB Tender
The input text contains a public notice from the Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart (Germany) about a participation competition leading to a restricted tender for landscape construction works, together with the general RIB Tender platform terms and conditions.
The legal and procedural point of view is German: the contract is tendered under VOB/A and VOB/B, German law applies for the platform terms, and the contracting authority and review body are German (Stuttgart, Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart).
The text first outlines the background and framework of the procurement.
It describes a restricted tender procedure under VOB/A following an open participation competition for “Landschaftsbauarbeiten, Bedarfsakkord- und Stundenlohnarbeiten (BAS-Lose)” in municipal open spaces and cemeteries of Stuttgart.
It specifies that applications for participation and later offers are to be submitted in text form, and that tender documents are provided electronically via the RIB Tender-based platform “meinauftrag.rib.de” after email notification to selected candidates.
It also clarifies that the RIB Tender system is only a metaplatform, and for participation in the actual tender the terms of the connected public procurement platforms (including vergabe.stuttgart.de) apply.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the notice lists specific “Eignungsnachweise” that must accompany the participation application, such as: the company’s turnover for the last three completed financial years in relation to comparable construction/services (including shares of joint contracts with other firms); proof of execution of comparable services within the last up to five completed calendar years; the average number of employees in the last three completed calendar years, broken down by wage groups with separately identified technical management staff; proof of registration in the professional register at the seat/domicile; and declarations on insolvency status, liquidation status, absence of serious misconduct, proper payment of taxes/social security contributions, and registration with the Berufsgenossenschaft.
Furthermore, bidders must indicate the personnel intended for management and supervision and the equipment available for performance of the contract.
There is no explicit mention of insurance or specific certificates beyond the professional register and social insurance/ Berufsgenossenschaft registration, and no special legal form is required for joint bids (Bietergemeinschaften).
Concerning the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the notice states that the contract type is a “Jahres-Rahmenvertrag” running from 01.05.2027 to 30.04.2029.
The services consist of landscape construction works and demand-based accord and hourly-wage works (BAS lots) for maintenance of municipal open spaces and cemeteries.

The place of performance is the city area of Stuttgart, subdivided into lots: Bezirk Mitte (7 lots), Bezirk Nord (8 lots), Bezirk Neckar (8 lots), Bezirk Filder (6 lots).
Quantities are not detailed in the extracted text; they will be specified in the tender documents issued to selected applicants.
Timelines include: deadline for participation requests 10.11.2026, 16:00; dispatch of invitations to tender on 17.11.2026, 20.01.2027, and 25.02.2027; corresponding anticipated offer receipt dates on 15–16.12.2026, 17–18.02.2027, and 24–25.03.2027; and submission/opening dates (“Submissionen”) distributed over those days at the contracting authority’s address.
On award criteria and weighting, the provided text does not specify any evaluation criteria or their weighting; it only confirms the procedure type and the requirement that no alternative bids or proposed changes are allowed (“Keine Nebenangebote oder Änderungsvorschläge zugelassen”).
Thus, while bidders know the process (restricted tender after qualification), the criteria used to select the economically most advantageous tender are not visible in the excerpts and will likely be contained in the detailed tender documents mentioned as “Weitere Angaben werden mit der Angebotsaufforderung … versandt.”
With respect to risks and special conditions, the notice states that no securities are required (“Geforderte Sicherheiten: Keine”) and that payment conditions follow § 16 VOB/B and the special and additional contract conditions, which are not reproduced.
Binding periods (“Bindefrist”) are listed as 12.02.2027, 02.04.2024, and 30.04.2027, corresponding to the different tender rounds; this defines the validity period of offers as a key commercial risk.
The RIB Tender terms add platform-related conditions and disclaimers, such as: communication with the contracting authority takes place electronically via RIB Tender unless another method is expressly set; documents provided in the bidder portal are deemed properly delivered once made available there; RIB does not guarantee constant availability of the platform and disclaims liability for failures outside its responsibility; use of webspiders or mass-scraping tools is prohibited, with possible exclusion from the service and enforcement of claims for cease-and-desist and damages.
There are no penalties, guarantees, subcontracting rules, question deadlines, or site visits mentioned in the extracted text, and such details, if any, would be expected in the full tender conditions and additional contract provisions.
As for contradictions or corrections within the documents, the main apparent inconsistency is the binding period entry “02.04.2024” in the list “t) Bindefrist: 12.02.2027, 02.04.2024 bzw. 30.04.2027,” which is out of sequence relative to the 2026/2027 timetable for submissions and appears to be a typographical error; based on context, a date in 2027 would be expected for the second round.
Where platform terms and the tender notice overlap (such as communication and document access), they are complementary: the tender notice refers to “www.meinauftrag.rib.de” for electronic issue of documents, and the RIB Tender terms clarify that the detailed set of available documents is determined by the contracting authority, not by RIB.
In case of conflict between RIB platform terms and the public procurement rules/VOB of the contracting authority, the public tender conditions of the Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart and the applicable VOB/A/VOB/B would govern the procurement relationship, while the RIB terms govern only the use of the electronic platform.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 24/10/2026
