Technical requirements: Global Tech I is a 400 MW Windfarm (80 WECs) in the German exclusive economic zone of the North Sea, about 115 kilometers from the cost, operated by Global Tech I Offshore Wind GmbH (GTI). The windfarm has been in operation since 2015.
GTI is hereby undertaking a tender procedure both for the design and management of a tender process for the arrangement of a new Operational All Risk insurance policy to begin on 01.01.2023 and the selection of professional insurance broker services for this OAR and other insurances from 01.01.2023 onwards. GTI intends to secure the services of an insurance broker with experience, expertise and capacity to act as an intermediary between GTI and the insurance market (i.e. insurers and other risk financing institutions).
The purpose of this tender is to appoint an insurance broker for a basic contract period until 31.12.2024 followed by optional annual prolongations up to a maximum contract period until 31.12.2027.
(if registration in such a register is required by law according to the candidate's or the members of the consortium"s country of origin)
Self-declaration that the candidate has all legal permissions to perform the services in question in Germany
Proof of business liability insurance with appropriate a minimum of EUR 3 million coverage for property damage and personal injury
Proof of a pecuniary loss liability insurance with a minimum coverage amount of EUR 10 million for pecuniary loss (it is also sufficient to submit a statement from an insurer that coverage will be adjusted in accordance with the above requirements if the candidate / consortium is awarded with the contract.)
Legal remedies may not be brought to the German bid protest institutions ("Vergabekammer") because GTI is not a contracting authority or entity pursuant to § 98 GWB. GTI is therefore not bound by public procurement law. GTI performs this tender pursuant to the SektVO voluntarily and only to effectively promote competition, transparency, and fairness.
Due to the shareholder structure of GTI, GTI considers the official bid protest authorities ("Vergabekammern", "Vergabesenate der Oberlandesgerichte") to be inapplicable for review procedures in this matter. Therefore, the "Landgericht Hamburg" (Regional Court) is announced in this notice as the competent body. However, if the official bid protest authorities should have jurisdiction, the following "Vergabekammer" would be competent:
In addition, reference is made to Section 160 (3) of the GWB. In particular, Section 160 para 3 no 4 GWB provides that a bid protest is inadmissible if more than 15 calendar days have elapsed since receipt of the contracting entity's notification that it does not intend to remedy the complaint.

Eligibility requirements: Extract from the commercial register or comparable document (if registration in such a register is required by law according to the candidate's or the members of the consortium"s country of origin) Self-declaration that the candidate has all legal permissions to perform the services in question in Germany
