Description

The object of this invitation to tender (service concession) is the award of grants for the development of underserved areas in Cluster D of the Central Saxony administrative district with fast and sustainable broadband Internet connections (construction and operation of NGA broadband networks). Cluster D covers parts of the areas of the municipalities of Erlau, Königsfeld, Mittweida, Rochlitz and Seelitz, as well as institutions located there. The objective of the funding measure is to provide private households, companies, public institutions and educational establishments with broadband Internet connections and corresponding services on a comprehensive and nationwide basis. Reliable bandwidths of one Gbit/s are to be guaranteed for all subscribers (actual availability at the so-called termination point line technology on the inside of the building wall is decisive), symmetrically for institutions (institutions located in Lot 1 as well as in Lot 2 as "institutionless").
The objective of the funding measure is to eliminate the market failure in the provision of broadband Internet by closing the profitability gap through the granting of monetary subsidies in an appropriate amount. The profitability gap is defined as the difference between the net present value of all revenues and the net present value of all costs of building and operating the broadband network. The relevant legal earmarking period is seven years after completion and commissioning of the subsidized broadband network. The amount of the subsidies is limited. Nevertheless, it is the objective of the district to use the available funds to achieve the most comprehensive and high-quality supply of all subscribers with broadband Internet connections and corresponding services with the prescribed minimum bandwidths. The quality of the development concept as well as the scope of the development are therefore decisive award criteria. Nevertheless, implementation of the overall project is subject to the proviso that overall financing is secured. A contract will be concluded with the successful bidder in this procedure, which will contain the obligation to expand the network, the obligation to maintain network operation and the nationwide supply of all subscribers in the expansion area during the earmarking or contract period of seven years, as well as corresponding provisions in the contract to ensure open and non-discriminatory wholesale network access and passive infrastructure in accordance with the requirements of the NGA framework. The selected installer and operator of the NGA broadband network will also be obliged to provide the documentation required under the funding regulations. The contract will be awarded to the bidder who receives the highest number of points after final evaluation on the basis of the award criteria defined in the procedural conditions and the performance description with evaluation matrix and who has been able to prove that the total financing of one-off and ongoing costs is secured. In the event of a tie of points between several first-placed bidders, a selection can be made by drawing lots. However, the District of Central Saxony reserves the right to make use of the option provided for in § 30 (3) of the Public Procurement Ordinance 3/5 (VgV): The bidders can submit bids for one or for 2 lots. According to § 30 Para. 3 VgV, the district is entitled to award the contract to a bidder who submits the most economical overall bid for the lots taken together. Further information on this can be found in the enclosed document "EU Notice (long version) with conditions of participation special project".
