Description
Auto-translated from GermanDescription: According to § 97 para. 4 GWB, services are generally to be awarded divided into quantities (sub-lots) and separately by type or specialty (specialty lots). Only exceptionally may several sub-lots or specialty lots be awarded together if economic or technical reasons require it. Sub-lots are understood by § 97 para. 4 sentence 2 GWB as the division of services by quantity. A division into sub-lots divides the contract quantitatively, thus breaking down the total contract into partial quantities that are essentially qualitatively similar. When forming specialty lots, the service to be awarded is divided by type or specialty, i.e., qualitatively (cf. Ziekow/Völlink, 5th edition 2024, § 97, Rdnr, 79 and 80). In the case of specialty lots, a division of the total service into individual specialties or trades takes place (cf. Pünder/Schellenberg, Vergaberecht, 3rd edition 2019, § 97, Rdnr. 135). Lotting is generally the rule according to § 97 para. 4 sentence 2 GWB. Awarding the entire contract is the exception. It is questionable whether the division into sub-lots and/or specialty lots is possible at all in this case. a) The contract is not separable in terms of quantity and/or specialty at all The present contract cannot be separated for technical reasons within the meaning of § 97 para. 4 sentence 3 GWB. Technical reasons are not solely technical aspects in the strict sense of the word, but all aspects that are inseparably linked in view of the performance profile specified by the client. (Ziekow/Völlink/Ziekow, 5th ed. 2024, GWB § 97 Rn. 94, beck-online) The project involves a pure "paper analysis" that includes gathering already available information, linking it, and analyzing it. All individual services are therefore in close spatial and technical connection, and a division into areas would not be appropriate, as information and analyses build upon each other comprehensively. Integrating all service steps into one hand is a necessary measure here to ensure the quality of the overall service. The scope of services to be awarded is a coherent service that cannot be further broken down spatially or by quantity. Therefore, the formation of sub-lots is not possible. The formation of specialty lots is also not an option, as a clear separation of the individual task areas to be awarded is impossible. b) Economic reasons Not applicable. c) Technical reasons Not applicable In conclusion, the contract is to be awarded as a whole.
