Stacja robocza z procesorem M5

✓(3) A separate document with concrete product designations and descriptions as an “Eigenerklärung”, providing detailed specifications of the offered workstations.

✓(4) The Russia relationships declaration (THB-Bietererklaerungen-Russlandbeziehungen 2022), confirming that the bidder and key subcontractors do not fall under EU sanctions criteria.

✓Minimum qualification is mainly via self-declaration: no tax/social security arrears (or commitment to pay), no insolvency, no severe professional misconduct, no exclusion grounds under AEntG, MiLoG, SchwarzArbG, AufenthG, LkSG; as well as capacity to comply with minimum wage and labour law controls.

❓No explicit turnover or reference requirements appear in the excerpts.

✓The scope of the contract—what, how much, where, when—is defined in the Leistungsverzeichnis and the invitation to tender.

✓Such as, the CSX 33 Leistungsverzeichnis describes the principal item: “Workstation mit M5 Ultra Prozessor” with 36/80 cores, 256 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD, reference model “Mac Studio M5 Ultra (oder gleichwertig)”; quantity is 1 unit plus 1 unit “Verpackung und Versand”.

✓The delivery (Leistungsort) is the Technische Hochschule Brandenburg, Magdeburger Str. 50, 14770 Brandenburg an der Havel.

✓The Ausführungsfrist requires delivery and invoicing in 2026, specifically delivery by 30.11.2026 and invoicing also in 2026.

✓The offer must remain binding until the end of the Zuschlags- und Bindefrist, which is set to 30.11.2026, and the Angebotsfrist ends on 05.11.2026 at 09:00.

✓Concerning award criteria and weighting, the dedicated CSX 42 document is clear that the chosen evaluation method is pure price competition.

✓Such as, it states that for this procurement “Für die Wirtschaftlichkeit ist allein der niedrigste Preis entscheidend” and that no further qualitative criteria are provided under this method.

✓Thus, assuming formal and technical compliance with the specifications (including “gleichwertig” requirements), the contract will be awarded to the bidder offering the lowest price in the Excel price sheet, with no additional weighting for quality, references, environmental aspects, or other factors.

✓On risks and special conditions, the texts lay out several important obligations and potential sanctions.

✓Such as, (1) labour law and minimum wage: bidders must pay at least the Brandenburg minimum wage (13,00 EUR) unless the federal minimum wage (from 01.01.2026: 13,90 EUR) is higher, in which case the BbgVergG-specific rules are temporarily suspended; they must also allow extensive controls (access to payroll documents, pseudonymised or anonymised, site visits, interviews with employees, and provision of bank transfer evidence).

✓Violations can lead to reporting to customs, exclusion from competitions for up to three years, and entry in a Sperrliste.

✓(2) Subcontracting: the standard VOL/B rules require prior consent for substantial subcontracting and impose obligations to treat subcontractors fairly (payment, security), involve SMEs adequately, and pass on minimum wage control clauses (including Formular 5.4 in subcontract chains).

✓(3) Contractual penalties: VOL/B allows contractual penalties up to a general cap of 5% of the affected part of the contract value (exceptionally up to 8%), notably for delay in performance, with weekly or daily calculation.

✓(4) Securities: security (bonds or deposits) may be agreed only above 50,000 EUR contract value, and if agreed, must comply with German law and cannot be “on first demand” guarantees.

✓(5) Validity and question deadlines: questions on the tender must be addressed via the vergabeportal communication function by 30.10.2026; offers can be withdrawn electronically up to the end of the Angebotsfrist but are binding until the end of the Bindefrist thereafter.

❓No mandatory site visit is mentioned for this IT delivery.

✓As for contradictions or corrections, the contractual hierarchy and specific clauses indicate which statements prevail.

✓Such as, the ZVB-Bbg/VOL/B Section 1(2) explicitly defines the order of precedence in case of conflicting provisions: (a) the Leistungsbeschreibung, (b) Besondere Vertragsbedingungen, (c) Ergänzende Vergabebedingungen, (d) Zusätzliche Vertragsbedingungen, (e) Allgemeine Technische Vertragsbedingungen, and (f) the VOL/B general conditions.

✓This means that, for example, if a general VOL/B provision appears to conflict with a specific term in the tender’s Leistungsbeschreibung (e.g. delivery date or product specification), the specific tender description controls.

✓Similarly, the 5.1 Ergänzende Vergabebedingung clarifies that the minimum-requirements agreement (Formular 5.3, integrated in the THB-Angebotsformulare) must be signed and is part of the offer; its more specific BbgVergG provisions apply alongside, and where the federal minimum wage is higher, the document itself states that certain BbgVergG-derived rules “keine Anwendung” finden until the state minimum again exceeds the federal one.

✓Overall, the documents are largely consistent: specific tender forms and deadlines override general templates where they differ, and the bidder must rely on the explicit hierarchy and clarifications given in the ZVB-Bbg and 5.1 forms to resolve any apparent overlaps.
