The sum must reach the required minimum number of employees. If you submit offers in more than one service area (see chapter 3.3 of the document "Special Conditions of Application"), please note that the minimum requirements must be met accordingly. In this context, please also note the regulations regarding the award limitation according to chapter 3.4 of the document "Special Conditions of Application". Confirm by means of suitable proof that your company meets the requirements of quality management DIN EN ISO 9001: 2015 (or equivalent) and provides a description on request to the awarding authority.
To demonstrate technical and professional performance, please submit a list of at least three (3) appropriate references related to the relevant performance ("IT operational support in the field of IT infrastructure"). The following requirements are made of references in terms of content and scope: - Two (2) references, which include services to support the ongoing operation of IT infrastructures and infrastructure components. The focus must be on recurring operational activities in productive IT operations. References that focus on project-related one-off services, such as the introduction, migration or implementation of IT systems, are insufficient. The references must each include a minimum of 100 person-days (PT). - A (1) reference that includes services in the field of analysis, evaluation and further development of existing IT infrastructures or the integration of infrastructure components into existing IT systems. The services must have been provided in the context of ongoing IT operations. The reference shall be of at least 50 PT. For the references, the following information must be provided: • Description of the services performed, • Scope of the service in person days, • Period of service provision, • Indication of the responsible contact point with the customer of the reference with address and contact details. In addition, the following requirements apply to the named references: • The specified person days shall relate to the activity covered by the substantive reference requirements. The decisive factor is not the total scope of the order, but the proportion of the services concerned. • The references must not be older than three (3) years (the relevant date is the last service provision - until the date of the contract notice). • If references have not yet been completed, the performance level achieved so far must be specified. The Procurement Office of the BMI then decides on the recognition of this reference at its due discretion. Power levels not yet realized cannot be taken into account. • For the references, the template "Preliminary References" can be used. Please use the template several times if necessary. Alternatively, you can submit a self-created reference list if the information required in the form is shown clearly. • It does not matter whether the references are individual calls from a framework agreement or individual contracts. In the case of framework agreements, it is not the total size of the framework agreement that counts, but the size of the corresponding individual call. You are free to submit further references beyond the required minimum number. Since the exchange of an erroneous reference by a conditional reference submitted after the end of the tendering period is not possible and, in the relevant cases, entails the exclusion of the tenderer, the Procurement Office of the BMI recommends that a list of further references considered as conditional be submitted. The BMI Procurement Office reserves the right to verify the references provided. Information which does not withstand verification may lead to exclusion from the award procedure. If you are unable to provide the information required for legitimate reasons of confidentiality, you should inform the BMI Procurement Office of these reasons with the offer and provide other suitable proof of technical and professional capacity. The Procurement Office of the BMI then decides, at its due discretion, on the recognition of the alternative proof.
Asking and teaching another (more suitable) Proof is no longer possible after the end of the tender period for reasons of procurement law. Please note in any case that you can also specify margins for a minimum requirement of the value of the order (e.g. > €100,000 or between €100,000 and €200,000.
For the purpose of proving economic and financial capacity, the turnover in the field of activity "IT-operation support" for the last three (3) completed financial years must be presented. To indicate the turnover, please use the document "Company figures". The turnover must be at least EUR per year: ZIB 13.02 - 99113/25/VV : 1: 15.000.000 Euro ZIB 13.02 - 99113/25/VV : 2: 5.000.000 Euro ZIB 13.02 - 99113/25/VV : 3: 12.500.000 Euro ZIB 13.02 - 99113/25/VV : 4: 6.000.000 Euro Please submit the form "Company figures" for your company, members of bidding communities and suitable companies separately. If you use the capacities of third parties for economic and financial performance, companies belonging to the group are also considered as third parties. The minimum turnover is the sum of the respective turnover of your company and, if applicable, members of the bidding community and/or suitability lending companies. In the case of consortiums of candidates/tenderers and suitable enterprises, the turnover of all enterprises is added. The minimum requirements refer to the added numbers. If you want to use third party capacities (other companies or freelancers) for performance, please fill in the form "Subcontracts" and attach it to your offer. The tenderer may also make use of the capacities of third parties with regard to the economic, financial and technical and professional capacity required for the contract to be awarded (so-called ‘qualification loan’). In the event that you use Eligibility Loan, the form "Declaration of Eligibility Loan Subcontracts" must also be completed. For further details on the eligibility loan, please refer to Section 3.2 of the document "General Application Conditions". If you wish to participate in the procedure as a bidding community, please fill in the form "Applicant's bidding community declaration" and attach it to your offer. If you are submitting tenders for more than one lot (also across performance areas) (see chapter 3.3 of the document "Special Conditions of Application"), please note that the minimum requirements must be met accordingly in order to be able to receive the contract for another or more lots. In this context, please also note the regulations regarding the award limitation according to chapter 3.4 of the document "Special Conditions of Application". If you are not able to provide the documents for legitimate reasons, inform the BMI Procurement Office of these reasons in the offer and provide other suitable proof of economic and financial performance. The Procurement Office of the BMI then decides, at its due discretion, on the recognition of the alternative proof. Asking and teaching another (more suitable) Evidence is no longer possible after the closing date for procurement reasons.
