U-0273-26 Wdrażaj infrastrukturę IoT opartą na LoRaWAN wraz z powiązaną umową na konserwację i wsparcie, w tym szkolenia.

With regard to the scope of the contract, the text describes that a cloud-based IoT platform including LoRaWAN Network Server, licenses, operation and support must be provided for a term of four years. The performance must provide at least 99% availability, full support for sensors and decoders documented in a sensor list, storage and processing of sensor data (available for at least three months), visualisation (tables, time series, dashboards), rule-based automation and client/role management for currently 66 to 200 users, as described in the A criteria of the rating matrix. In addition, expandability to up to 100 gateways and 1,000 sensors is required. Place of performance is the city of Wuppertal; Information on on-site visits shall be provided, as described, only if specifically provided for in the contract notice or invitation to tender. The time limits under public procurement law are specifically stated: Tender deadline/Submission on 25.11.2026, Tenderer's questions until 23.11.2026, Period of validity until 23.12.2026.

In contrast to purely price-driven procedures, a combined model is explained for the award criteria. For example, the contract notice explicitly mentions a price-to-performance weighting at a ratio of 50:50. Performance is assessed through B criteria (quality rating), such as sensor support, visualisation, automation, interfaces, LNS/gateway operation and migration and support approach; a score of 0/50/80/100 is given for each criterion, followed by a weighting. To this end, the tenderer must submit a product description or a concept in German with specific reference to each B criterion, as required in the scoreboard. The KPI Z = L/P is obtained from the credit points L and the total tender price P (including all items in the bill of quantities) by the simple guideline method; the highest quotient will be awarded. Discounts (discounts and discounts) are included in detail in the price evaluation in accordance with the BB-L, provided that they are correctly indicated in percentages in the bidder’s declaration.

In the area of risks and special conditions, the documents contain numerous requirements. Tenderers must submit their tenders exclusively electronically via the procurement platform meinauftrag.rib.de; Paper offers are excluded. Tenderers shall be bound by their tenders until the final date for the award of the contract and may not claim any additional remuneration in the event of an extension of the final date for the award of the contract due to delays in performance of the contract. Changes or additions to the procurement documents are not permitted, as is the inclusion of own terms and conditions, which leads to the exclusion of offers. For subcontractors: Planned subcontracts must be identified in the tenderer's declaration; further details and proof of suitability may be requested; there is no legal claim to the client's consent to further subcontractors after the contract has been awarded. Special contractual conditions under the NRW Tariff Compliance and Procurement Act oblige compliance with minimum working conditions and provide for extensive control rights, extraordinary termination options and contractual penalties ranging from 1% to 5% of the contract value in the event of infringements. The EVB-IT Cloud GTC and contractual documents regulate, inter alia, limitations of liability, remuneration according to expenses, payment deadlines (e.g. 30 days after an auditable invoice), price adjustments and jurisdiction.

With regard to possible contradictions or corrections within the documents, the rules provide clear priority and clarification requirements. For example, the contractual elements (invitation to tender, tenderer’s declaration incl. annexes, BVB TVgG NRW, specifications/service catalogue, BVB/BTV/ZVB/ZTV, VOL/B, EVB-IT, etc.) are explicitly listed hierarchically; in case of ambiguities or contradictions, the tenderer is obliged to ask a bidder question via the procurement platform in good time. Supplementary and rectifying information shall be published only there; Registered bidders are actively informed, and non-registered bidders must – as formulated – inform themselves of changes and answers on the portal under their own responsibility (indebtedness). In the event of discrepancies between general notices and more specific documents, the more specific, later rule in the current procurement documents or packages of amendments typically applies, unless expressly stated otherwise.
