Girls Go Circular is an EU-funded project that has been running since 2020. It was only in December 2022 that it was signalled that the project would be continued on a significantly expanded scale in 2023, 2024 and 2025, with corresponding funding. To enable the project to continue with the least possible interruptions, it is necessary to limit the duration for the tender procedure for the necessary services to further implement and expand the project. Nevertheless, interested companies should be given sufficient time to prepare and submit tenders.
The contract value indicated under II.1.7) and V.2.4) is incorrect and is based solely on the fact that the form requires one entry in each case. Pursuant to Section 39 (6) Nos. 2 to 4 VgV, the contracting authority is not obliged to publish individual details if their publication would be contrary to the public interest, prejudicial to the legitimate commercial interests of an enterprise or prejudicial to fair competition between undertakings. The total value of the procurement and the value of the contracts awarded are not communicated because this would harm the legitimate commercial interests of the respective contractor. In addition, publication of the procurement or contract value would be contrary to the public interest and impair fair competition between companies in future award procedures, as conclusions about the contents of tenders and competition would be possible from such information.
According to section 160 (3) sentence 1 No 4 ARC a review procedure is inadmissible, if more than 15 calendar days have expired since receipt of notification from the contracting authority that it is unwilling to redress the objection.
