BEW Berliner Energie und Wärme GmbH
Tier C and no-prime. The technical scope overlaps Digital David's OCR, GIS, integration and secure-cloud capabilities, but the buyer explicitly requires a mature market-tested industrial 3D product. Digital David alone also fails the hard EUR 1.2 million total-turnover threshold in both verified years 2024 and 2025; other financial, reference, headcount, insurance, certification and named-team gates remain unknown because the qualification pack does not contain that evidence.
Provide, implement and support a mature central platform for 3D representations of BEW energy plants, including point clouds, POIs, OCR, measurements, plant-system integrations, security controls and optional on-premises or SaaS deployment.
OCR-in-point-cloud, GIS/georeferencing, APIs, data workflows, Azure deployment and secure integration align with demonstrated competencies. The procurement nevertheless requires an existing industrial 3D product, two highly specific plant references, ISO 27001 certification, a 15-FTE organisation and financial scale that the company evidence does not meet or prove.
Digital David demonstrates OCR, GIS, secure integration and complex web-platform delivery, but has no existing mature, market-tested ContextCapture/industrial 3D product. More decisively, verified 2024 and 2025 total turnover is below the mandatory EUR 1.2 million in each year, so Digital David alone fails a hard participation gate.
Portfolio evidence
Decision gates
Digital David AG's commercial-register entry is documented in the company qualification pack.
A bank reference no older than three months must be submitted; the evidence pack contains none.
A policy no older than six months with at least EUR 2 million for property damage and EUR 2 million for personal injury is required. No insurance evidence is present.
A policy no older than six months with at least EUR 2 million for financial loss is required. No insurance evidence is present.
At least EUR 1.2 million total turnover is required in each of 2023, 2024 and 2025. Verified company evidence records EUR 754,500 for 2024 and EUR 874,992.76 for 2025, both below the hard annual threshold; 2023 is not documented.
At least EUR 600,000 revenue in the ContextCapture-platform field is required in each of 2023, 2024 and 2025. The evidence pack has no field-specific revenue split and no 2023 figure.
At least 15 permanent full-time employees in both 2025 and 2026, including at least three developers, are required. Expert-team evidence is deferred and the qualification pack contains no admissible headcount proof; personnel expense and portfolio descriptions are not used to infer it.
Two 2023-2025 references are required, one completed after 1 January 2024, covering process/production plants with interior and exterior areas, stated area and point counts, customised UX/OCR/object-recognition features, and full reference contacts. No approved reference evidence pack exists.
The portfolio demonstrates operated cloud software, observability and secure integration, but the submission requires evidence of a multi-level support and escalation model, binding product roadmap, regular penetration tests, continuous monitoring and active vulnerability management for the offered platform. The qualification pack does not prove that complete bundle.
Regular employee information-security training must be declared. The evidence pack contains no training record.
All data must be stored exclusively in Germany or the EEA. No offered deployment or subprocessor evidence exists for this tender.
A valid ISO/IEC 27001 or equivalent accredited certification and Statement of Applicability must cover the organisation, processes and systems material to delivery. The qualification pack records no certifications.
Every proposed project person must have C2 English and at least one must have C2 German. Named-expert evidence is deferred and no admissible language proof exists.
Registers B-G and tender-specific declarations must be completed by every relevant economic operator. The company pack does not pre-authorise these tender-specific declarations.
Each applicant/consortium member must sign and submit the buyer's current confidentiality form with the participation request.
The complete portfolio map shows relevant OCR, GIS and integration competencies but no existing mature industrial 3D ContextCapture platform. The specification explicitly requires a mature, market-tested product, so a greenfield Digital David prime route is incompatible; a product partner would be required.
The current workbook contains extensive mandatory functional, architectural, security, SaaS, incident-management and continuity rows. Compliance can only be assessed against a selected mature product; no product response exists.
Official clarifications · selected by AI relevance
The confidentiality declaration must be completed, signed and submitted with the participation request. The Article 28 data-processing agreement is informational in phase 1 and becomes relevant and contractual in the offer phase.
A signed confidentiality declaration is an immediate phase-1 submission. The AVV must be reviewed for the later solution and supply-chain design but is not yet a signed phase-1 deliverable.
The buyer supplied an adjusted Annex 2 after the hidden-row issue. A pilot/PoC question is not relevant to the participation phase and will only be answered in the later offer phase.
The current revised Solution Selection workbook must be used. A bidder cannot assume a paid or cost-neutral PoC route when sizing bid cost or product readiness.
The buyer considers this irrelevant to the participation stage and will answer it only in the offer phase.
The ingestion and migration volume remains unknown, so implementation effort and storage sizing cannot yet be completed.
The buyer did not confirm those counts; it issued another revised Annex 2 dated 10 August 2026.
The latest official revision controls and must be rechecked for every mandatory row; prior hidden or counted rows cannot be relied upon.
Upload all relevant and mandatory documents under 'Eigene Anlagen'; acknowledging all attachments requires no further action. Select 'Ja' for a criterion when the corresponding form has been completed and can be submitted. Registers B-G are uploaded under 'Eigene Anlagen'.
The phase-1 package must be assembled and named against the register structure; checking portal boxes alone does not supply the evidence.
No. The question is deferred at participation stage and retrieval of the datasets during the offer phase is not planned.
Product fitness against the buyer's four acceptance datasets cannot be validated before bidding; this increases technical and presentation risk for any partner solution.
