The tender will result in the award of a framework agreement to the tenderer ranked first (‘Core Contractor’), second (‘Back-up Contractor 1’) and third (‘Back-up Contractor 2’) in the award decision.

The location of the project is an offshore site North-East of the island of Rügen close to the existing wind farms Arkona Becken and Wikinger.
The scope of works will includes the design, procurement, fabrication, transport and installation and commissioning of an OSS including substructure and all platform systems and its related project management and coordination activities.
As per section 7 of our 'GOP-OSS-3AA-00-C-01-GOP Procurement Scope Description' document (provided with the tender package), the fabrication yard on which the works under this contract need to be performed must be compulsorily mobilized within a radius of 3 100 kilometers around the contracting entity's office location in Berlin, Germany. This restriction is necessary:
(c) the travel distance of the contracting entity's personnel that needs to be available on the fabrication yard); and
(iii) ensure the transparency and cost management in assessing the related tenders (notably for free issued materials).
The selection of candidates in the selection phase shall take place according to the two-stage procedure described under this section.
For Stage 1, the candidates will first need to comply with a set of pass/fail selection criteria (regarding languages, exclusion grounds according §§123 and 124 GWB, minimum wage, finance, Code of Conduct for suppliers, company presentation, yard location, subcontracting, HSE statistics, Health and Safety and Environmental aspects).
If all pass/fail criteria for Stage 1 have been met (i.e. ‘Pass’), the candidate shall be considered for Stage 2.
The remaining candidates will then be evaluated in Stage 2 based on their performed project references.
Each submitted project reference shall be individually assessed against a set of evaluation criteria, as listed under section 1.10. of the Selection Questionnaire (SQ).
Thereafter a total aggregate score ('TRS') shall be calculated for all provided project references, based on a predefined Scoring Model, also described in the SQ.
