What the buyer wants
The lot distribution is necessary in order to separate the different trades for which, according to experience, widely differing rebates are granted. The tender requests a discount rate per lot (lot discount). The bidder with fulfilled exclusion criteria and the highest discount (lowest price) is awarded the contract for the respective lot. A discount rate for lots 1 - 4 is requested (group discount). It is possible that the bidders will receive the contract for lots 1 - 4 via the group discount. A group discount will only be taken into account if the offer in each individual lot of the lot combination is the most economical.
