Summary

The site contains a former GDR-era school building currently used by a second-chance school, a 1969 building hosting a childcare centre, and a small sports hall used by clubs for training. The contract covers structural design services (Tragwerksplanung) under HOAI Part 4, Section 1, service phases 1 to 6 and 8. Award follows a negotiated procedure with a limited number of candidates. Commissioning is staged, initially covering phases 1 and 2, with later phases optionally called off depending on financial security, and no legal entitlement to subsequent services.
