Technical requirements: A set of several (up to three) wind measurement devices is to be purchased that assesses parameters for characterising the wind field in front of a wind turbine based on LiDAR technology. From the recordings of the combination of devices, it should be possible to derive the ‘free’ (undisturbed) wind velocity as well as the gradient of the mean wind speed with measurements in several distances to the turbine rotor (~ induction effects). In addition, it should be possible to derive the vertical and horizontal wind profile over the rotor plane with an as high as possible spatial resolution from the provided measurements.
The offers essentially met the specifications, but they had to be excluded for formal reasons. The follow-up procedure will be continued with all bidders.
Request of documents — available at: the award documents can be retrieved exclusively through the award portal of the German e-Vergabe at www.deutsche-evergabe.de With the tender submission, contenders are also subject to the provisions regarding unsuccessful tenders (§134 GWB [German Act Against Restraints of Competition]). Questions or remarks from the tenderer must be sent, in English only, exclusively via email to the contact point named under No I.1). As far as relevant, responses to the questions or remarks of the tenderer shall also be sent to all other tenderers.
Pursuant to Section 9 Par. 3 S. 2 VgV (German public procurement regulation), the contract notice and the award documents are available to you at the German eVergabe with or without registration.
Please note that registration is required for requests to participate, tender submissions and tenderer questions.
We therefore recommend early registration, also in order to receive any tenderer information; you otherwise bear the risk of possible tender exclusion.
A request for review is inadmissible if more than 15 calendar days have passed since the receipt of the notification from the ordering party indicating a lack of willingness to help with the objection (§ 160 Par. 3 Clause 1 No 4 GWB [German Act Against Restraints of Competition]). A request for review is additionally inadmissible if the contract has been awarded before the Vergabekammer (procurement review authority) has informed the ordering party of the request for review (§§ 168 Par. 2 Clause 1, 169 Par. 1 GWB). The award of the contract is possible 15 calendar days after the dispatch of the tenderer information pursuant to § 134 Par. 1 GWB. If the information is sent electronically or via fax, this time period is reduced to ten calendar days (§ 134 Par. 2 GWB). The time period begins on the day after the dispatch of the information by the ordering party; the day on which it is received at the concerned tenderer and applicant is not relevant. The admissibility of a request for review furthermore presupposes that a complaint has been made to the ordering party with regard to the asserted procurement violations within 10 days after knowledge was obtained of it (§ 160 Par. 3 Clause 1 No 1 GWB). Complaints regarding violations of procurement rules that are apparent on the basis of the announcement must be made to the ordering party before the expiration of the time period named in the announcement for the application or for the tendering (§ 160 Par. 3 Clause 1 No 1 GWB). Complaints regarding violations of procurement rules that do not become apparent until appearing in the award documents must be made to the ordering party no later than by the expiration of the time period for the application or for the tendering (§ 160 Par. 3 Clause 1 No 1 GWB).
