The Aperlena Verdict

Open race

No supplier dominates: 6 different companies have won the last 6 comparable contracts from this buyer over 5 years. This is a genuinely open race.

Based on 6 comparable awards by this buyer in this sector over 5 years. Every verdict is recorded before the outcome and graded against the award notice. How we score ourselves.

Summary

Machine-generated summary

The broadcaster WDR intends to sell the northern part of its approximately 58-hectare site in Cologne-Bocklemuend, located on both sides of the Freimersdorfer Weg, partly built on and currently used partly by WDR and partly by third parties. As WDR's own use declines, the site will be vacated between 2028 and 2035, although a sale before complete vacating is possible. The contract covers the design and management of the entire transaction process by an experienced consultancy, supporting WDR in preparation, marketing, investor selection and commercial handling up to choosing a preferred investor. Legal advice and contract drafting are awarded separately, and a parallel advisory contract covers a separate expression-of-interest procedure whose results must be integrated. Applicants successful in the selection stage receive additional confidential project information.

Description

Der WDR beabsichtigt, den nördlichen Teil seines rund 58 ha umfassenden Areals in Köln-Bocklemünd zu veräußern. Das Gelände erstreckt sich beiderseits des Freimersdorfer Weges, ist teilweise bebaut und wird derzeit teilweise durch den WDR sowie durch Dritte genutzt. Vor dem Hintergrund sinkender Eigennutzung soll der Standort perspektivisch aufgegeben werden. Die vollständige Freiziehung des Areals wird für den Zeitraum zwischen 2028 und 2035 erwartet. Eine Veräußerung kann grundsätzlich auch vor vollständiger Freiziehung erfolgen. Die zu vergebende Leistung umfasst die Konzeption und Steuerung des gesamten Transaktionsprozesses durch ein erfahrenes Beratungsunternehmen. Der Auftragnehmer unterstützt den WDR bei der Vorbereitung, Vermarktung, Durchführung und Begleitung der Investorenauswahl sowie bei der kaufmännischen Abwicklung des Verkaufsprozesses bis zur Auswahl eines bevorzugten Investors. Parallel zur vorliegenden Ausschreibung wird eine Beratung für ein separates Interessenbekundungsverfahren beauftragt. Das Interessenbekundungsverfahren wird somit durch einen gesonderten Auftragnehmer begleitet. Die Ergebnisse dieses Verfahrens sind durch den Auftragnehmer der Transaktionsberatung zu berücksichtigen und in den weiteren Transaktionsprozess einzubeziehen. Die rechtliche Beratung der Transaktion sowie die Vertragsgestaltung und -verhandlung erfolgen durch gesondert beauftragte Berater und sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Ausschreibung. Hinweis: In der Teilnahmebroschüre und der Vergabeunterlagen sind grundsätzlich alle Informationen enthalten, die zur Beurteilung des Gesamtprojektes notwendig sind. Die im Teilnahmewettbewerb erfolgreichen Bewerber werden jedoch weitergehende Informationen erhalten, die aus Geheimhaltungsgründen nicht auf der Vergabeplattform veröffentlicht werden. Diese betreffen beispielsweise Auswertungen und bereits erfolgte Prüfungen hinsichtlich des Gesamtprojektes.

  4. In your favour:

  5. Your call:

    Is there a margin at the likely winning price?
