Portfolio verdict

Conditional product route

Tier B. Mimir is an excellent software architecture match, but the bid is not evidence-ready: it needs three recent specialist GIS references including one German municipal or authority-data project, liability insurance, named scored experts and a geothermal partner. The authoritative deadline is 11 September at 09:00, correcting the existing seed's 23:59 time.

Recommended actionQualify partner-first: secure three formal GIS reference sheets, named scored CVs, liability insurance and 2023 turnover evidence, then design the Mimir/TUM-model integration boundary.

What the opportunity means

Build a modular web GIS for Bavarian deep-geothermal assessment with spatial analysis, reservoir and borehole data, interference forecasting, TUM models, AI surrogates and complete source handover.

Portfolio thesis

Direct Mimir platform fit; formal GIS references, German authority-data experience, insurance, named experts and geothermal-model partnership are unresolved.

Qualification reality

Mimir is an existing-product architectural route for GIS, evidence, scenarios and analytics, conditional on a geothermal or geoscience specialist for validated models and domain liability.

Eligibility and delivery gates

Company matchUnknown
Three-year turnover disclosure
MustRequired
The procedure asks for turnover for each of the last three closed financial years without a minimum. 2024 and 2025 are verified, but 2023 is absent.
Company matchUnknown
Three comparable GIS references
MustRequired
Three specialist GIS web-app projects from the last three closed years are required, including at least one German municipal or authority-data-infrastructure reference. Mimir demonstrates fit but the pack contains no formal reference sheets.
Company matchUnknown
Exclusion, tax, labour and supply-chain declarations
MustRequired
Tender-specific declarations must be completed; the company profile does not establish those facts.
Company matchUnknown
Liability insurance
MustRequired
The checked EVB-IT clause requires a liability-insurance certificate, and the qualification evidence contains no insurance policy or limits.
Company matchUnknown
Named project lead, deputy and personnel plan
ScoredNot required
Named CV evidence is deferred and cannot be inferred from personnel expense or portfolio descriptions.
Company matchUnknown
Scored personnel experience
ScoredNot required
Points require a project manager with at least ten years, a PhD or equivalent with three research projects, and a person with ten years plus five similar software projects.
Company matchPartially met
Geothermal model capability
DeliveryNot required
GIS, scenario and AI-integration capability is demonstrated, but no geothermal or geoscience domain evidence or committed specialist partner exists.
Company matchUnknown
Eligibility lending or consortium
DeliveryNot required
These routes are permitted with prescribed forms and commitments, but no named evidenced committed partner exists, so the gate is not met_with_partner.
