The object of the services advertised by the Contribution Service is the award of a contract for the procurement of duplicate-free, economically active non-private addresses in Germany in two identical lots. The aim of the procurement measure is to obtain (rent) and use high-quality addresses from two different address providers.

Under the designation "NP addresses", the regional broadcasters of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (ARD), Zweite Deutsche Fernsehen (ZDF) and Deutschlandradio (DR), represented by the management of the contribution service of ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandradio (hereinafter referred to as "contribution service" or "client"), write the procurement of duplicate-free, economically active non-private addresses in Germany in two identical lots.

The Contribution Service is an unincorporated joint institution of the regional broadcasting corporations of the Association of Public Broadcasting Corporations of the Federal Republic of Germany (ARD), the Second German Television (ZDF) and Deutschlandradio for the purpose of central contribution collection in order to be able to guarantee the financing of public broadcasting through the broadcasting fee.

For this purpose, the Contribution Service uses the non-private addresses provided by the future contractors to carry out various information campaigns (hereinafter referred to as "clarification measures") which serve to acquire new contributors.

These are in particular written (up to) 3-stage clarification measures. In addition, written and telephone clarification measures are also to be carried out by the state broadcasting corporations. If the written clarification measures are unsuccessful due to a lack of reaction from the addressee, the addresses of those who have not reacted to the written clarification measures will be passed on to an external service provider for clarification of the facts by telephone.

For the aforementioned information campaigns, the Contribution Service acquires rights of use to duplicate-free, economically active non-private addresses in Germany on behalf of the public state broadcasters. The aim of procurement is to obtain high-quality addresses from two different address providers.

The future contractor undertakes to provide the services specified in this service description during the entire term of the contract, starting from 01.07.2023. In addition, the Contribution Service will carry out a test phase of approximately 4 weeks immediately after the award of the contract, during which the contractor will already provide non-private addresses in the form of a test file.

The client is entitled to retrieve the entire number of addresses (total stock) per lot a maximum of 12 times per contract year. In addition, the customer is entitled to make multiple call-offs per lot per contract year for partial quantities. The call-offs for partial quantities are in addition to the releases for the total quantity and are not added to the call-offs for the total quantity.

The contribution service, the state broadcasters and the external service provider are granted unrestricted, non-exclusive rights of use at the non-private addresses to be delivered during the term of the contract.

In addition, the contribution service, the state broadcasting corporations and the external service provider are entitled to continue clarification measures that were started during the term of the contract and can only be concluded beyond the end of the contract without restriction even after termination of the contractual relationship. Further details can be found in the specifications (cf. procurement documents, Part B.).
