KI-Labor: GPU-Tower

✓The bidder must also confirm that it has liability insurance and is registered with the appropriate accident insurance institution (Berufsgenossenschaft); turnover and references are not explicitly requested in these excerpts.

✓The scope of the contract is defined in CSX 33 (Leistungsverzeichnis) and the Aufforderungsschreiben.

✓Such as specified in the performance description, the contracting authority seeks the delivery of 2 professional KI‑Workstation tower systems and associated transport and delivery services.

✓Each workstation must meet detailed technical specifications (e.g. at least 10‑core/20‑thread 64‑bit workstation CPU, 64 GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 1 TB NVMe PCIe SSD, professional GPU with at least 24 GB GDDR7 ECC, approx. 8.900 CUDA-equivalent cores, ≥36 TFLOPS FP32, PCIe 5.0 x16, multiple digital display outputs, tower chassis, suitable PSU, Windows 11 Pro compatibility; example model Lenovo ThinkStation P5 Tower w/ RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell or equivalent).

✓The quantity is 2 units plus 1 position for transport and delivery costs.

✓Place of performance / delivery location is Technische Hochschule Brandenburg, Magdeburger Str. 50, 14770 Brandenburg an der Havel (designated as Liefer-/Leistungsort).

✓Timeframe: offers are due by 05.11.2026, 09:00; the delivery must be completed by 30.11.2026, with invoicing also within 2026; the award and binding period ends 30.11.2026.

✓Award criteria and weighting are described very succinctly in CSX 42. Such as explicitly stated, the chosen “Wertungsmethode” is pure price competition: “Für die Wirtschaftlichkeit ist allein der niedrigste Preis entscheidend.” No qualitative or technical weighting criteria are foreseen, provided that the technical minimum specifications of the Leistungsverzeichnis are complied with.

✓Thus, all technically compliant offers are assessed solely on total price, and the economically most advantageous tender is the lowest-priced one.

✓Risks and special conditions are mainly governed by the „Vertragsbedingungen des Landes Brandenburg“ (ZVB-Bbg mit VOL/B) and the BbgVergG clauses in 5.3.

✓Such as stipulated, prices are fixed including freight, packaging, German-language documentation and other costs unless otherwise agreed; payment will be made at the purchaser’s choice within 14 days with agreed cash discount or within 30 days net after receipt of a prüffähige Rechnung and passing of risk.

✓Contractual penalties may be agreed for delay; for time-overruns, the penalty per week may be up to 0.5% of the value of the non-usable part of the performance, with a general maximum of 5% (individually up to 8% in exceptional agreement).

✓Security (guarantee/bond) for performance or warranty is only permissible above 50.000 EUR contract value and then must comply with BGB §§ 232–240; no first-demand guarantees may be required, and the security must be lodged within 18 working days after contract conclusion if agreed.

✓Subcontracting is subject to prior approval of the Auftraggeber for substantial parts of the service; bidders must also oblige all subcontractors and (temporary) labour suppliers to identical minimum-wage control commitments and provide appropriately signed Formular 5.4 where applicable.

✓The BbgVergG clauses introduce further risks: the client can conduct on-site inspections and payroll audits, enforce monthly bank-transfer payment of wages, report violations of MiLoG or AEntG to customs authorities, and initiate exclusion (“Auftragssperre”) for up to three years, which is recorded in a central list.

✓Violations of the minimum wage agreement or false declarations may lead to termination for cause (express Kündigungsrecht) and exclusion from future tenders.

✓Questions on the tender must be submitted no later than 02.11.2026; communication is exclusively via the portal’s communication function (no submission of bids through that channel).

❓No site visit is mentioned or required.

✓Regarding contradictions or which statements prevail, the general hierarchy of contract documents is defined in § 1 VOL/B as adopted by the ZVB-Bbg: in case of inconsistencies, the following order applies: (a) Leistungsbeschreibung (here CSX 33 and the description in Leistungsverzeichnis.xlsx), (b) Besondere Vertragsbedingungen, (c) Ergänzende Vertragsbedingungen (e.g.

✓Formular 5.1 BbgVergG and 5.3 Mindestanforderungen), (d) Zusätzliche Vertragsbedingungen (ZVB-Bbg), (e) ggf. Allgemeine Technische Vertragsbedingungen, (f) VOL/B itself.

✓Such as clarified, conflicting general terms and conditions of the bidder do not become part of the contract unless individually and in writing accepted by the contracting authority.

✓Within the BbgVergG minimum wage section, any apparent conflict between the Brandenburg minimum wage of 13,00 EUR and the federal minimum wage of 13,90 EUR is resolved internally: as long as the MiLoG wage is higher, the BbgVergG follow-up payroll-control provisions do not apply, but the bidder must in any case meet the higher MiLoG threshold.

✓Thus, where a statement in a lower-ranking document diverges from the higher-ranking Leistungsbeschreibung or statutory provisions, the higher-ranking or legally mandatory rule applies.
