AllFlash Storage SAN/NAS

✓Tender documentation for an All-Flash Storage SAN/NAS procurement by Technische Hochschule Brandenburg

✓The input text is a collection of German public procurement documents for an IT system (All-Flash Storage SAN/NAS) under the Unterschwellenvergabeordnung (UVgO) and the Brandenburgisches Vergabegesetz (BbgVergG).

✓It includes the tender letter, standard state contract conditions (Land Brandenburg), EVB-IT Systemvertrag and AGB, data protection information, and several TH Brandenburg bidder declaration forms.

✓The perspective is clearly from Germany (Land Brandenburg, Technische Hochschule Brandenburg), with references to EU law (EU sanctions against Russia, DSGVO, Wettbewerbsregister) but no other national frameworks beyond export control notes (EU/US/DE) in EVB-IT.

✓Such as regarding what the bidder must submit, the text states that two documents are always mandatory: (1) “THB-Angebotsformulare-UVgO-Bietererklaerungen.rtf” (seven-page combined form with Angebotsdeckblatt, Eigenerklärung Ausschlussgründe 4.1 and Vereinbarung Mindestanforderungen BbgVergG 5.3), to be fully completed (especially cartel declaration, Berufsgenossenschaft, Haftpflichtversicherung, KMU-Angabe) and electronically signed in text form on the last page; and (2) “Leistungsverzeichnis.xlsx” in original, editable Excel format, filled with all price positions (renaming or converting to PDF leads to exclusion).

✓Such as for minimum qualification requirements, the Eigenerklärung Ausschlussgründe requires bidders to declare no relevant criminal convictions or fines (e.g. corruption, money laundering, EU budget fraud, human trafficking), compliance with tax and social security obligations, no insolvency/liquidation, and no serious professional misconduct.

✓They must further declare that no exclusion grounds exist under the Arbeitnehmer-Entsendegesetz, Aufenthaltsgesetz § 98c, Mindestlohngesetz § 19, Schwarzarbeitsbekämpfungsgesetz § 21 and Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz § 22, and commit to obtaining equivalent declarations from any subcontractors.

✓The BbgVergG minimum requirements form 5.3 obliges them to pay at least the applicable minimum wage (currently MiLoG 13.90 EUR/h from 1.1.2026, which supersedes the BbgVergG 13.00 EUR/h until the latter rises above), to allow extensive audit rights (inspection of anonymised/pseudonymised payroll records, access to premises, interviews with employees), and to impose identical obligations on any Nachunternehmer or temporary work agencies.

✓Membership in a Berufsgenossenschaft and existence of an appropriate liability insurance (with stated coverage sum) are mandatory declarations; lack of these core entries renders an offer “unvollständig” and leads to exclusion.

✓Such as regarding the scope of the contract, the tender letter (VA-2026-522) specifies the subject as “AllFlash Storage SAN/NAS” for the Technische Hochschule Brandenburg, Hochschulrechenzentrum, with delivery and installation at Haus A, Magdeburger Str. 50, 14770 Brandenburg an der Havel (office building, with detailed logistics constraints like 7.5t truck access, narrow passages, stair section, lift access, UPS-backed 220V supply, and room cooling).

✓The tender letter sets the offer deadline (06.11.2026, 08:00), the end of the award/binding period (04.12.2026), and states that delivery should preferably be completed by 30.11.2026, with invoicing still in 2026; bidders must state an expected delivery date in their offer.

✓Such as with award criteria and weighting, the input references CSX 42 “Angebotswertungsmethoden und -kriterien” and CSX 33 “Leistungsverzeichnis.pdf” as attached documents, but does not reproduce their detailed content here.
