Landschaftsbauarbeiten auf städtischen Friedhöfen der Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart (Teilnahmewettbewerb / Rahmenvertrag)
The input text concerns a public procurement procedure in Germany (Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart, Bundesrepublik Deutschland) for landscape construction services on municipal cemeteries, published in the official gazette of the City of Stuttgart.
It is presented from the point of view of a German contracting authority applying the rules of VOB/A 2019 and using the electronic procurement platform “RIB Tender” / “meinauftrag.rib.de”.
Alongside the tender notice, the text also reproduces the general terms of use of the RIB Tender platform, which apply to bidders when accessing and submitting documents electronically.
The background of the documents is a restricted tender procedure (Beschränkte Ausschreibung nach öffentlichem Teilnahmewettbewerb) for a multi‑year framework contract covering landscape construction works in cemeteries.
Such as described in the notice, interested companies must first submit a participation application (“Teilnahmeantrag”) in text form, demonstrating their suitability under § 6a Abs. 2 VOB/A 2019.
Only selected applicants will then receive an invitation to tender and the detailed specifications via the RIB platform.
The procedure is structured into three “Durchgänge” with defined dates for sending invitations, receiving offers, and holding separate submission (opening) meetings.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the notice specifies that suitability evidence (“Eignungsnachweise”) from technically competent, efficient and reliable applicants must be provided with the participation application.
Such as required are: (i) turnover of the company for the last three completed financial years, limited to construction and comparable services, including shares in jointly executed contracts; (ii) references on execution of comparable services during the last up to five completed calendar years; (iii) the average annual number of employees over the last three years, broken down by wage groups and identifying technical management personnel separately.
In addition, bidders must submit proof of registration in the professional register at their seat/residence, and declarations regarding insolvency status, liquidation, absence of serious misconduct, proper payment of taxes and social security contributions, and registration with the relevant Berufsgenossenschaft.
Furthermore, they must describe the personnel planned for management and supervision and the equipment available for executing the services.

Specific standard forms are not named in the text, and there is no explicit mention of required insurance sums or particular certificates beyond the professional register and statutory compliance.
The scope of the contract is defined as a “Jahres-Rahmenvertrag” for landscape construction works, specifically “Bedarfsakkord- und Stundenlohnarbeiten (BAS-Lose) zur Unterhaltung auf städtischen Friedhöfen”.
Such as stated, the performance location is the urban area of Stuttgart and is divided into three lots: one lot for Pragfriedhof, one for Waldfriedhof, and one for Hauptfriedhof.
The contract period runs from 01.05.2027 to 30.04.2029.
Detailed quantities are not included in the excerpt; these will be part of the later tender documents issued to selected participants via www.meinauftrag.rib.de.
The procedure timetable is: deadline for receipt of participation applications is 10.11.2026, 16:00; invitations to submit bids will be sent at the latest on 17.11.2026, 20.01.2027, and 25.02.2027; indicative offer deadlines are 15.12.2026, 17.02.2027, and 24.03.2027; submission/offer opening dates (“Submissionen”) are on the same three dates, spread over the day at the contracting authority’s address.
With respect to award criteria and weighting, the provided text does not specify any evaluation criteria (such as lowest price, economically most advantageous tender, qualitative criteria, weighting schemes, or scoring models).
Consequently, based on the input, no concrete award criteria or their weighting can be extracted; these may be contained in the later invitation to tender and contract documents referenced but not reproduced here.
Risks and special conditions are mentioned only in a limited way.
Such as noted, no securities (“Geforderte Sicherheiten: Keine”) are required from bidders according to the notice, and payment terms follow § 16 VOB/B plus the special and additional contract conditions (which are mentioned but not detailed).
Alternative bids and change proposals (“Nebenangebote”) are expressly not permitted.
For bidder consortia, no specific legal form is required.
Binding periods for offers (“Bindefrist”) are set as 12.02.2027, 02.04.2027 and 30.04.2027, corresponding to the different tender rounds, which represents a commercial risk in terms of price commitment over time.
There is no explicit mention of contractual penalties, guarantees, subcontracting limits, question deadlines or obligatory site visits in the excerpt.
On the procedural side, use of RIB Tender entails accepting its terms of use: communication with the contracting authority is deemed to occur electronically via the platform; documents placed on the portal count as duly delivered once made available; RIB disclaims responsibility for the completeness/accuracy of procurement information and for downtime or technical failures.
This creates a technical and organisational risk that bidders must manage (e.g., monitoring the portal, ensuring timely downloads and uploads).
For legal protection, the competent review body (“Stelle zur Nachprüfung”) is the Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart.
Regarding contradictions or corrections within the documents, the excerpted texts are largely consistent.
Such as observed, all repeated passages of the tender notice carry the same information: contract duration 01.05.2027–30.04.2029, no side offers, three lots (Pragfriedhof, Waldfriedhof, Hauptfriedhof), same deadlines for participation applications and offers, same statements on securities (none) and payment terms (per § 16 VOB/B).
There is no statement in the input that corrects or contradicts another; therefore, on the basis of the supplied text, there is no internal conflict where one statement would need to be preferred over another.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 24/10/2026
