10058874 - Opracowanie i instytucjonalizacja systemu kwalifikacji programistów podwójnego programu szkoleniowego dla dual TVET w Mongolii

Such as in the eligibility section of the self‑declaration, minimum qualification requirements include: average net annual turnover of at least EUR 100,000 over the last three financial years and at least one employee/manager on average over the last three calendar years. Technical capacity must be demonstrated by up to 10 reference projects from the past three years, and only projects with a minimum contract volume of EUR 60,000 are counted for eligibility. As mandatory minimum references, the bidder must show at least 2 reference projects in the field of TVET dual training and curriculum development, and at least 1 further reference project in this field; candidates not meeting these minimum criteria are ineligible and excluded. GIZ will also check sanctions lists (UN/EU), creditworthiness and the risk of false self‑employment prior to award; there is a declaration regarding receiving less than 5/6 of total business income from GIZ over past and next 12 months. No explicit insurance certificate requirement is stated in the excerpts, but the general contractual regime implies usual professional responsibility and liability rules.

Such as in the ToR and draft contract, the scope of the contract covers developing and institutionalising a dual training curriculum developer qualification system for dual TVET in Mongolia under project G‑012416‑001 (tender number 10058874). The contractor must implement four work packages: (1) create a methodological framework and a guide/manual for dual curriculum development aligned with Mongolian regulations and the Dual TVET Management Committee; (2) design and deliver a train‑the‑trainer programme for 20 Mongolian curriculum multipliers and support them in qualifying about 60 local curriculum developers; (3) co‑develop dual curricula for pilot occupations in agriculture and energy together with Mongolian stakeholders; and (4) coordinate validation, approval (GAE/MoE), digital integration into the GIZ Moodle LMS, and handover plus scaling recommendations. The draft contract sets the contract term from 01.12.2026 to 31.05.2028, with services provided mainly to GIZ’s cTVET2 project office in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Milestones include, for example, approval of the draft manual (target May 2027), completion of multiplier training (January 2027), delivery of dual curricula drafts (September 2027) and final national approval with final report (October 2027).

Such as in the award criteria sections, bids are evaluated technically according to the annexed assessment grid and financially thereafter. The cover letter specifies that the technical bid is weighted at 70% and the financial bid at 30%. Only tenders reaching at least 500 points in the technical assessment are admitted to financial evaluation; below 500 points, the technical bid is unsuitable and excluded. If any technical minimum/mandatory criterion set out in the ToR is not met, the financial bid will not be opened and the tender is excluded. Fixed budget items stipulated for the financial bid are not considered in the financial evaluation/weighting. GIZ reserves the right to require a presentation by tenderers to demonstrate that their concept and proposed experts adequately guarantee successful implementation; this presentation does not change the basic 70/30 weighting but feeds into the technical assessment.

Such as in the Terms and Conditions 2025 and the draft contract, the main risks and special conditions for bidders include: German law applies; GIZ’s Terms and Conditions and VOL/B are binding and override the contractor’s own terms. Integrity provisions ban corruption, facilitation payments and gifts above EUR 35 per recipient per year, with contractual penalties up to EUR 50,000 and possible termination for serious breaches of the Code of Conduct. Delays beyond a grace period can trigger a contractual penalty of 0.5% of the remuneration per week (max. 5% total). GIZ may terminate at any time, with different financial consequences depending on whether the contractor is at fault; force majeure is regulated separately, with limited reimbursement of costs. The contractor must comply with strict confidentiality and information security rules, GDPR data‑processing requirements, and reporting duties on information‑security incidents. Subcontracting significant parts of services requires that it be foreseen in the contract or agreed by written amendment; subcontractors must be named in the tender, their tasks described, and GIZ must consent to any later selection; all subcontractors must accept the same contractual provisions. Assignment of claims is prohibited without GIZ’s prior written consent. There is a ban on variant tenders; tenders are binding until 04.01.2027 (end of binding period), with service commencement planned for 01.12.2026. Electronic submission via the GIZ eProcurement Tender Platform and bidder tool is mandatory, using text‑form signature under §126b BGB. No site visit requirement or explicit question deadline is contained in the provided text; questions are implied to go through the platform or contact in the cover letter.

Such as in the hierarchy clause of the Terms and Conditions (section 1.2) and the draft contract annex list, contradictions are resolved by a clear order of precedence: (1) the signed service contract or award notification with its annexes (including ToR, price schedule, technical bid as accepted, etc.); (2) the General Terms and Conditions 2025 and their annexes; and (3) the Standard Official Contracting Rules for Services, Part B (VOL/B). If statements differ between documents, the one higher in this hierarchy applies. For example, if a ToR detail conflicts with the Terms and Conditions, the specific contract (including ToR as annex) normally governs the concrete service, but any general legal/format requirements in the Terms and Conditions still apply unless the contract explicitly derogates them. Where application terms or guidelines on electronic submission appear to differ from the cover letter, the cover letter plus the application requirements (April 2026 version) and Terms and Conditions together form the binding tender conditions, with no negotiations allowed; corrections or changes to tenders must be made in the same form and within the deadline via the bidder tool, and variant offers remain inadmissible.
