The present case is an AMENDMENT TO THE NOTICE of 25.03.2021 in relation to individual lots 2, 3 and 4.

==========================================================================================================

Since addresses in the individual lots 2, 3 and 4 have turned out to be ineligible for funding in the current procedure or are the subject of self-economic developments, they are to be excluded from the call for tenders. The change in the development area in individual lots 2, 3 and 4 requires a corresponding adaptation of the present invitation to tender for the commissioning of a concessionaire. After Lot 2 was initially completely withdrawn in the current negotiated procedure due to the considerable reduction in address and the procedure was partially withdrawn in this respect, Lot 2 with the reduced development area will be readmitted to the procedure and the procedure will be set back accordingly.

Accordingly, this notice is a notice of amendment which is intended to enable companies that have not yet participated in the present call for tenders to participate in the invitation to tender in respect of individual lots 2, 3 and 4 or an overall tender for all lots 1 to 4 in view of the new framework conditions. Bidders who have already (also) applied for one, two or all individual lot(s) 2, 3 and 4 or for an overall bid for all lots 1 - 4 in the context of the first notice and who are currently still involved in the negotiated procedure do not have to apply again. Rather, these companies will be asked to adjust their offers and, if necessary, submit an overall offer in parallel with the notification of change. Candidates who apply to participate in the negotiated procedure in response to this notice of amendment shall take part in a competitive competition to identify candidates invited to submit tenders. Further details can be found in the tender documents adapted for individual lots 2, 3 and 4 (available for download at https://www.dtvp.de/Satellite/notice/CXS0Y65Y14KH7EPP/documents).

The district of Holzminden (hereinafter: "concession provider") has the goal of establishing efficient access to the broadband broadband infrastructure for households and schools nationwide. In addition, the concessionaire pursues the goal of strengthening its business location and ensuring the competitiveness of its companies. For this reason, concession contracts are to be concluded with telecommunications companies for the construction and operation of gigabit networks and the provision of retail services.

========================================================================================================

In the present case, it is about the award of a service concession. Since the procurement management system does not provide for a corresponding publication form, the VgV negotiation procedure is used as an alternative. However, it is expressly pointed out that this is an award according to the KonzVgV, namely a negotiation procedure with a competition to participate.

The present case is an AMENDMENT TO THE NOTICE of 25.03.2021 in relation to individual lots 2, 3 and 4.
