Introduction

Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben, a body governed by public law controlled by a central government authority, has conducted an open procedure (EU-wide) for the award of a framework agreement for the hazard potential analysis of buildings on civically used properties due to heavy rain (Starkregencheck). The services are divided into nine lots covering the entire Federal Republic of Germany: Lot 1 (ROFM North, postal code areas 20-25), Lot 2 (ROFM East, postal code areas 17-19), Lot 3 (BEFM + PDFM, postal code areas 03, 10-16), Lot 4 (EFFM + MDFM East, postal code areas 01-02, 06-08, 37-39, 98-99), Lot 5 (MDFM, postal code areas 26-31), Lot 6 (DOFM + KOFM North, postal code areas 32-36, 40-53, 57-59), Lot 7 (KOFM, postal code areas 54-56, 60-67), Lot 8 (FRFM, postal code areas 68-79), and Lot 9 (MCFM, postal code areas 80-97).

The procurement is not financed with EU funds but is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). No strategic procurement objectives were specified. The award criterion is price (100% weighting – Wertungspreis), calculated as the sum of annual total net prices including all prices for demand services. In the event of equal offers, the contracting authority reserves the right to award by drawing lots. The contract runs from 01 September 2026 to 31 August 2028 (without option), with the option to extend twice by one year each, ending at the latest on 31 August 2030. Maximum quantities of buildings to be assessed range from 327 to 878 per lot. Three to five tenders were received per lot.
