Conclusion of framework agreements within the framework of an "open house tender".

For the procurement process for the supply of technical gases, Freie Universität Berlin has opted for an open house award.

The subject of the publication is the conclusion of framework agreements within the framework of an "open house tender". Interested companies that offer the product group technical gases (except bulk) are offered the opportunity to connect to the existing ordering system of Freie Universität Berlin. Joining this open-house procedure is possible at any time during the term of the contract.

Order call-offs are processed via the e-procurement system of the FU Berlin. For this purpose, the contractor must upload a catalogue adapted for the FU Berlin to the current system provider. The template required for this will be made available to the contractor.

Interested companies can contact the mentioned contact address and request the contract documents. The prerequisite for concluding such a framework agreement is the submission of the fully completed and signed documents (framework agreement and required self-declarations).

A uniform framework agreement is concluded with each company that meets the requirements. This means that there is no exclusive contract and no individual contractual agreements are made.

Suppliers have to compete within Freie Universität Berlin's e-procurement system. The open-house procedure was chosen so that each individual user (e.g. researcher) can make his own choice to source his necessary products. The purpose of the contract is to commission companies that can meet the needs of the research institutions and other institutions of Freie Universität Berlin.
