KVB bases the advertised service on a high need for protection with regard to the protection goals of confidentiality, integrity and availability due to the type of data processed and the criticality for its business processes.

#E7 IDBT/ABT system including cEMV acceptance must criterion: E7 Submission of a reference about executed orders / services comparable to the advertised service in terms of object and scope.

The comparability of a reference requires that the reference order has at least the following features, i.e. the implementation and at least 6-month productive operation of an integrated ID-based ticketing system (IDBT/ABT) including cEMV acceptance (EMV medium as identification and payment medium) including delivery/integration of vehicle-based sales devices (e.g. validators) and provision of a central background system (HGS) in the public transport sector with location within the European Union, the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom.

Reference contracts shall not have been awarded more than 10 years ago. In this respect, the decisive factor is the time of acceptance or complete provision of the service. In principle, a reference order can be used to fulfill several features, provided that the respective requirements are fully met. Deviations from this are listed under the reference characteristics.

The reference shall include the following information: name and address of the respective reference contractor, short description of the reference project, contractual role of the own company in the reference project, meaningful description of the type and scope of the (self) provided service, information on any (own) subcontractors, description of the comparability of the project (substantial overlaps / parallels to the present call for tender), date of production, date of acceptance and duration of the project.

The references should include a contact person who can confirm the reference and is empowered to provide KVB with information on the quality of service provision. The above information shall be used on Form A3. If the form does not provide sufficient space for the corresponding information, the information may also be provided in a separate document, the reference being indicated. It is permissible to submit more than the required number of reference projects. For candidate/tenderer communities, the reference shall indicate which of their members has provided the reference service.

Optional criteria: If a sufficient number of candidates are available, KVB will limit the number of suitable candidates invited to submit a tender. A minimum of three candidates (minimum number) and a maximum of five candidates (maximum number) will be invited to submit an indicative tender. The selection will be made based on the optional criteria specified in the notice. The evaluation will be conducted based on the stated points. The candidates will be ranked according to the total score achieved.

If the number of suitable candidates exceeds the intended maximum number, the five candidates with the highest qualification score will be invited to submit tenders. If there is a tie on points (equal qualification score) for the final rank relevant to the selection, lots will be drawn to decide which candidate will be invited to submit a tender. If the minimum number of candidates is not reached, the procurement procedure will be cancelled.
