Vergabeverfahren Schließanlage Unibibliothek H7 – Überblick der Anforderungen und Bedingungen
The input text concerns a public construction-related contract for the “Schließanlage” (locking system) of the Unibibliothek H7 at the Medizinische Universität Lausitz – Carl Thiem in Cottbus, Germany.
It is a German VOB/A-based procedure with Brandenburg-specific forms and references to German and EU law (e.g.
Brandenburgisches Vergabegesetz, DSGVO, EU sanctions against Russia).
Thus, the point of view is that of a German public contracting authority, operating under German federal procurement rules, Brandenburg state procurement law, and relevant EU regulations.
The contract is a construction-related supply and installation job (“Lieferung, Einbau und Inbetriebnahme Schließanlage Unibibliothek H7”) including building site regulations, special contract conditions, and compliance obligations (minimum wages, infection protection, Russia embargo).
The bidder must comply with these framework conditions in addition to technical specifications in the Leistungsverzeichnis and annexes such as the object plan and site regulations.
Regarding what the bidder must submit and minimum qualification, the text specifies numerous forms to be filed with the offer, such as the fully completed Angebotsschreiben (VVB 213), Form 223 (Aufgliederung der Einheitspreise), price calculation forms 221 and 222, the “betriebstechnische Bestimmungen”, the Brandenburg minimum requirements declarations for the bidder (Form 5.3) and for subcontractors/workers’ leasing (Form 5.4, if applicable), the Eigenerklärung Ausschlussgründe (Form 4.1), bidder information (Eigenerklärung Informationen/Unternehmensdaten), declaration on infection protection, and the Russia-embargo special form.
As such, the bidder must also show sufficient economic and financial reliability via a Betriebshaftpflichtversicherung with minimum cover (1,000,000 EUR personal injuries; 200,000 EUR property/bearbeitungsschäden), and on request by the authority provide a Handelsregister/Gewerbeanmeldung and tax clearance (Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigung Finanzamt).
Some documents need not be re-submitted if already filed in the same calendar year or within six months, illustrating practical simplifications.
Concerning the scope of the contract (what, where, when), the contract covers the delivery, installation, and commissioning of a locking system for Unibibliothek H7 on the university campus in Cottbus.
The detailed quantities and technical specifications are in the Leistungsverzeichnis files (MUL-CT H7E1 Bibliothek Los B_10 Schließanlage Anfrage-LV and related annexes), including site-related requirements like crane erection, excavation permits, and site regulations.

As indicated, the Ausführungsbeginn is fixed at 02.01.2027, and the abnahmereife Fertigstellung must be achieved by 30.04.2027; these dates are designated as contractual time limits under § 5 VOB/B.
Communication runs via the Brandenburg Vergabemarktplatz (VMPConnector) and the offer period ends 25.11.2026, with the bid binding period lasting until 30.12.2026.
On award criteria and weighting, the Aufforderung zur Angebotsabgabe states that the primary Zuschlagskriterium is the price, determined from the “Wertungssumme” of the offer.
As such, the value used for comparison arises from recalculated offer totals, including consideration of discounts, any repayment amounts from a possible Lohngleitklausel, and included maintenance offers.
It is explicitly mentioned that multiple award criteria could apply if a separate “Formblatt Zuschlagskriterien” exists, but in the present text the price criterion is highlighted.
Side offers (Nebenangebote) may be either excluded or allowed depending on the box ticked; in the reproduced text, Nebenangebote appear as “nicht zugelassen”, which means only main offers are evaluated.
Regarding risks and special conditions, the special contract conditions introduce several key provisions, such as contractual penalties (Vertragsstrafen) of 0.1% of the net contract sum per working day of delay in meeting contractual milestones, capped at 5% of the total settlement sum.
The contractor must accept extended payment terms: the deadline for final payment and onset of delay is extended to 60 days.
Guarantees are required where the net contract sum exceeds 20,000 EUR; in that case a 5% performance security must be provided (via deposit or guarantee), and detailed requirements for surety bonds (selbstschuldnerische Bürgschaft, waiver of § 771 BGB, unbefristet) are laid down.
Additional cost allocations include a 1.12‰ surcharge on the total settlement sum for the client’s construction insurance and a 0.25% deduction for utilities (water, electricity), both applied through deductions in interim and final accounts.
For subcontracting, the bidder must list planned subcontractor services (VVB 233) and capacities of other companies (VVB 235) and, where capacities are used for qualification, secure binding commitments via VVB 236; subcontractors and staff leasing firms must sign equivalent minimum wage and infection protection declarations with contractual penalty and termination rights.
As for contradictions or corrections within the documents, the overview shows some parallel listings of required forms in both VVB 211 (Aufforderung zur Angebotsabgabe) and VVB 216 (Verzeichnis vorzulegender Unterlagen), and the same requirements (e.g. submission of forms 221, 222, 223 and 5.3, 5.4, 4.1) recur.
Similarly, if different statements on Nebenangebote or award criteria were to appear elsewhere, the VVB 211 form, as the formal invitation, would govern unless explicitly modified; however, in the provided text the rules seem consistent, with price as the main award criterion and Nebenangebote not admitted.
Only the contracting authority's tender documents are binding. As of: 28/10/2026
