Postal services for the Oder-Spree district

Summary

The tender concerns the provision of postal services for the Oder-Spree district in a two-lot open procedure. Lot 1 covers analog post delivery (regional and national, including physical post delivery orders) and Lot 2 covers digital/hybrid post delivery (digitally delivered letters, registered mail and electronic post delivery orders). The contract term runs from 1 March 2027 to 29 February 2028 with an option to extend up to a total of 60 months. The digital part includes interface development, testing environment and rollout, with milestones leading to a standard production start by 1 March 2027. Bids may be submitted for one or both lots, and each lot is evaluated separately under the Brandenburg open procedure rules. The award criteria are based on quality and sustainability (70%) and price (30%), with references and demonstrated experience required. The supplier must provide evidence of economic/financial capacity, professional qualifications, and compliance with data protection and environmental requirements; for Lot 2 additional EU-based data center, ISO 14001 and FSC forestry standards, and data protection assurances apply. The procurement documents specify the use of the Brandenburg e-procurement platform, subcontracting rules, and the need for multiple references (including at least one public sector reference) as part of the qualification process. The selection will be made on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender, not solely on price, and the contract terms will be governed by VOL/B and Brandenburg-specific conditions.
