Qualification system - Planning services for pipeline and plant construction projects of ONTRAS Gastransport GmbH

The present procedure serves to establish a qualification system in accordance with § 48 SektVO for the selection of suitable companies for future procurements of planning services for pipeline and plant construction projects, the contract value of which exceeds the European threshold. However, the contracting authority also reserves the right to procure services via the qualification system that do not reach the threshold for EU tenders. Applications for admission to the qualification system can be made for the following service areas: Planning services for pipeline construction projects / Planning services for plant construction projects. Applications can be made for both service areas or only one of the service areas. Planning services for pipeline construction projects may relate to the new construction or maintenance/renovation of an underground gas high-pressure pipeline in accordance with § 3 GasHDrLtgV and DVGW AB G 463. The route length, pressure level, and nominal diameter may vary depending on the project. Plant construction projects refer to gas plants in accordance with the standards of DVGW AB G 265-1 or -3 or DVGW AB G 491 or DVGW AB G 497 within the scope of the Gas High-Pressure Pipeline Ordinance, such as biogas injection plants (BGEA), gas pressure regulating and measuring stations (GDRMA), or compressor stations. The planning services themselves can include both general planning services and the planning of individual planning phases. Planning phases can include, among others, basic data determination, preliminary, design, approval, and execution and tender planning, site supervision/construction management, specialist construction supervision and construction monitoring, as well as the warranty phase. Likewise, services for project management and environmental planning in pipeline and plant construction projects can be requested as part of the general planning services. The aim of the qualification system is to prequalify capable and reliable service providers in order to be able to carry out tenders in a negotiation procedure without a prior competitive procedure or in an open procedure for specific procurement needs quickly and efficiently. The contracting authority is responsible for accessing the prequalified companies in the qualification system for the services described and opening corresponding tender procedures for awarding contracts. However, it remains free to cover individual procurement needs without accessing the qualification system. The conditions for submitting tenders (e.g., tender conditions with award criteria, contract with service description) will be defined for each tender and made available simultaneously to all prequalified companies via the tendering platform as part of the tender requests.
