The subject of this accelerated, open procedure is a so-called margin competition.
The currently 25 facilities to be supplied with natural gas are clustered in 3 lots.
The Max Planck Society intends to conclude a framework agreement for each lot with the bidder who offers the most economical (lowest), uniform margin (also called handling fee / processing surcharge) for the lot.
A framework agreement for the supply of natural gas for the front years 2022 and 2023 is concluded with the most economical bidder determined per lot when the contract is awarded.
At the same time, an optional natural gas supply for the front year 2024 or 2025 is added to the (cheapest) uniform margin that has been awarded (then the current energy price (exchange settlement price)), which applies at the time of the option drawing depending on the market area.
