Procurement of an endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution to secure the...

Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification requirements, the “Zusammenstellung der Angebotsunterlagen” (Formular 3.4) lists, such as: the Angebotsschreiben (Formular 3.3), price sheet (Preisblatt 09-2026), the inhaltliches Angebot, the completed Anforderungsmatrix 09-2026, the EVB-IT Überlassungsvertrag Typ B_0.3 (with yellow-marked modifications), technical descriptions and manufacturer information as per “Technische Nachweise 09-2026”, and the Bewertungsmatrix. Eignungsnachweise include the Eigenerklärung Ausschlussgründe (Formular 4.1), indications of Handelsregisternummer/Registergericht and USt-IdNr./W-IdNr. in Form 3.3 as proof of professional authorisation, plus proof of a Betriebs-/Berufshaftpflichtversicherung and membership in a Berufsgenossenschaft (also given via Form 3.3). Additional lists of references or technical staff are marked as optional (unchecked boxes), while the obligation to state which parts might be subcontracted is flagged as mandatory. If the bidder claims preferential status (e.g. Frauenförderverordnung or sheltered workshops), corresponding forms and proofs must be attached. For Eignungsleihe or Unteraufträge, the bidder must submit Form 4.3 and a matching Verpflichtungserklärung (Form 4.4) including attached exclusion-ground self-declarations (Form 4.1) of the other companies.

Concerning the scope of the contract (what, how much, where, when), the documents repeatedly refer to the project title but the detailed quantities are deferred to the “Leistungsbeschreibung 09-2026” and the “Anforderungsmatrix 09-2026”, which aggregate all MUSS-, SOLL- and KANN requirements; the bidder has to declare for each requirement whether it is fulfilled and note constraints. As such, technical scope examples include: EDR rollback functions (chap. 3.4), MITRE ATT&CK mapping (4.3), threat hunting and query capabilities (4.4), telemetry retention beyond 90 days (4.5), alert forwarding (4.6), automated responses (4.7), remote response (4.8), security posture and risk scoring (5), directory integration (6.4), dashboards (6.8), export formats (6.9), APIs/integrations (6.10), local-only operation (7.2) and optional 24/7 support with defined SLAs (12.3). Place of performance and delivery terms follow ZVB-Bbg and VOL/B: performance and delivery are generally at the Sitz der empfangenden Dienststelle in Bad Belzig or the designated Verwendungsstelle; deliveries are frei Verwendungsstelle and the county’s receiving office is only obliged to accept on weekdays 8:30–14:00 unless otherwise agreed. Timelines and Ausführungsfristen are binding; any hindrances must be reported immediately in writing under VOL/B.

Award criteria and weighting are referenced but not detailed in the excerpts: the Aufforderung (Form 3.1) states that the Zuschlag is awarded to the wirtschaftlichstes Angebot and that the criteria and their weighting/resulting order stem “aus den Vergabeunterlagen” (not from the Bekanntmachung in this case). The Frauenförderverordnung form explains a specific preferential rule: such as, if a bidder has higher female employment and pay ratios and its offer is either price-equal to the best offer, or up to 20% more expensive, it may receive priority or the option to “enter” into the economically best offer. Aside from this preference mechanism, conventional price rules apply: prices are to be in euros, net of VAT, with at most three decimals, no Mischkalkulation and only unconditional percentage discounts at the specified spot in the Angebotsschreiben are evaluated.

The documents also highlight risks and special conditions. For example, there are strong minimum wage and labour-compliance obligations under BbgVergG and MiLoG/Beschäftigte: the bidder must sign Form 5.3 (Vereinbarung Mindestanforderungen) and, if using subcontractors or labour-leasing firms, impose parallel commitments (Form 5.4) down the chain until the actually performing entity. Violations of these obligations can trigger a contractual penalty of 1% of the contract value per proven case (per employee and month), up to 25,000 EUR per case and a total maximum of 5%/250,000 EUR, as well as reporting to customs and registration on a central Sperrliste with possible competition bans up to three years. VOL/B contains generic contractual penalty provisions (max. 8% for delay), security provisions (§ 18) including optional guarantees or cash deposit on a joint Sperrkonto, and a dispute-resolution clause with exclusive venue at the authority’s seat if § 38 ZPO conditions for Gerichtsstandsvereinbarung are met. Concerning subcontracting, both VOL/B and ZVB-Bbg stipulate that substantial parts of the performance may only be passed on with the prior approval of the contracting authority, whereas minor or non-core services may be outsourced without consent. The validity period of the offer is defined by the Bindefrist in Form 3.1 (shown but without a date in the excerpt), and bids may be withdrawn only up to the end of the submission period. There is no explicit site visit requirement mentioned in the provided text.

As to contradictions or corrections, the text states clear hierarchy rules for inconsistencies: such as, VOL/B § 1(2) says that in case of discrepancies, the Leistungsbeschreibung prevails, followed by special contract conditions, then supplementary and additional conditions, and lastly VOL/B itself. The ZVB-Bbg similarly defines the order of precedence: (a) the offer with Leistungsbeschreibung and all attached documents per the Auftragsschreiben (or a formal contract document, if issued), (b) any Ergänzende Vertragsbedingungen, (c) the ZVB-Bbg, and (d) VOL/B. In case of conflicting statements between forms, this means that: minimum labour requirements and penalties from BbgVergG-specific forms (5.1, 5.3, 5.4) override any more general labour references in VOL/B; the technical requirements of the Leistungsbeschreibung and Anforderungsmatrix override generic performance descriptions; and where something is marked as “vom Unternehmen sind vorzulegen” (checked boxes in Form 3.4), those obligations clearly apply over optional, unchecked items. Furthermore, Form 3.3 explicitly clarifies that missing required signatures or identification in the chosen electronic format leads to exclusion of the bid, which resolves any ambiguity about signing requirements in the platform documentation.
