Der öffentliche Auftraggeber kann Aufträge im Verhandlungsverfahren ohne Teilnahmewettbewerb vergeben, wenn:
Keine ordnungsgemäße oder unannehmbare Angebote im Rahmen eines offenen oder nicht offenen Verfahren eingereicht wurden.
Die ursprünglichen Bedingungen des Auftrags nicht grundlegend geändert werden müssen.
Ein Angebot als ungeeignet gilt, wenn es ohne Abänderung den in den Vergabeunterlagen genannten Bedürfnissen des öffentlichen Auftraggebers nicht entspricht.

Diese Regelung soll sicherstellen, dass der öffentliche Auftraggeber von einem Teilnahmewettbewerb absehen kann, wenn keine geeigneten Angebote eingereicht wurden.</cbc:ProcessReason></cac:ProcessJustification></cac:TenderingProcess><cac:ProcurementProject><cbc:ID schemeName="InternalID">2025.009_1100</cbc:ID><cbc:Name languageID="DEU">2025.009_1100  crowdworking Plattform</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="DEU">The Max Planck Institute for Human Development Research (hereinafter referred to as CHM) is dedicated to researching human development, among other things. Researchers from various disciplines - including psychology, computer science, mathematics and economics - work together on interdisciplinary projects. In the field of behavioural research, online experiments will continue to be conducted in order to collect data on human behaviour in interactions with different AI technologies. The CHM needs a scalable, needs-based crowdworking platform for this.
The CHM often uses human subjects to collect such behavioural data and typologies through experiments, surveys and feedback.
The platform service provided by the provider must be suitable for simple and repetitive tasks that need to be processed manually by humans in the CHM workflow. Direct access to the participant pool is essential to enable piloting of the tasks and full control over bonus payments.
In addition, the platform service must make it possible to track past experiment participation and - if necessary - exclude people who have already participated in previous studies or experiments. Many CHM experiments also require the simultaneous participation of a large pool of participants. The experiment must therefore be usable for a large group of participants at the same time to ensure that a sufficient number of people can participate synchronously in the online experiment. Most projects require large numbers of participants, often 3,000 or more</cbc:Description><cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">services</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode><cac:RequestedTenderTotal><ext:UBLExtensions><ext:UBLExtension><ext:ExtensionContent><efext:EformsExtension><efbc:FrameworkMaximumAmount currencyID="EUR">480000</efbc:FrameworkMaximumAmount></efext:EformsExtension></ext:ExtensionContent></ext:UBLExtension></ext:UBLExtensions><cbc:EstimatedOverallContractAmount currencyID="EUR">480000</cbc:EstimatedOverallContractAmount></cac:RequestedTenderTotal><cac:MainCommodityClassification><cbc:ItemClassificationCode listName="cpv">72314000</cbc:ItemClassificationCode></cac:MainCommodityClassification><cac:RealizedLocation><cac:Address><cbc:CountrySubentityCode listName="nuts-lvl3">DE300</cbc:CountrySubentityCode><cac:Country><cbc:IdentificationCode listName="country">DEU</cbc:IdentificationCode></cac:Country></cac:Address></cac:RealizedLocation></cac:ProcurementProject><cac:ProcurementProjectLot><cbc:ID schemeName="Lot">LOT-0000</cbc:ID><cac:TenderingTerms><ext:UBLExtensions><ext:UBLExtension><ext:ExtensionContent><efext:EformsExtension><efac:StrategicProcurement><efbc:ApplicableLegalBasis listName="cvd-scope">false</efbc:ApplicableLegalBasis></efac:StrategicProcurement></efext:EformsExtension></ext:ExtensionContent></ext:UBLExtension></ext:UBLExtensions><cbc:FundingProgramCode listName="eu-funded">no-eu-funds</cbc:FundingProgramCode><cac:FiscalLegislationDocumentReference><cbc:ID>unused-id</cbc:ID></cac:FiscalLegislationDocumentReference><cac:EnvironmentalLegislationDocumentReference><cbc:ID>unused-id</cbc:ID></cac:EnvironmentalLegislationDocumentReference><cac:EmploymentLegislationDocumentReference><cbc:ID>unused-id</cbc:ID></cac:EmploymentLegislationDocumentReference><cac:AwardingTerms><cac:AwardingCriterion><cbc:CalculationExpression languageID="DEU">Qualitätskonzept bots activity</cbc:CalculationExpression><cac:SubordinateAwardingCriterion><cbc:AwardingCriterionTypeCode listName="award-criterion-type">quality</cbc:AwardingCriterionTypeCode><cbc:Description languageID="DEU">Konzept</cbc:Description></cac:SubordinateAwardingCriterion></cac:AwardingCriterion></cac:AwardingTerms><cac:AppealTerms><cac:PresentationPeriod><cbc:Description languageID="DEU">nicht relevant</cbc:Description></cac:PresentationPeriod><cac:AppealReceiverParty><cac:PartyIdentification><cbc:ID schemeName="organization">ORG-0000</cbc:ID></cac:PartyIdentification></cac:AppealReceiverParty></cac:AppealTerms></cac:TenderingTerms><cac:TenderingProcess><cbc:GovernmentAgreementConstraintIndicator>true</cbc:GovernmentAgreementConstraintIndicator><cac:AuctionTerms><cbc:AuctionConstraintIndicator>false</cbc:AuctionConstraintIndicator></cac:AuctionTerms><cac:FrameworkAgreement><cac:SubsequentProcessTenderRequirement><cbc:Name>buyer-categories</cbc:Name></cac:SubsequentProcessTenderRequirement></cac:FrameworkAgreement><cac:ContractingSystem><cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode listName="dps-usage">none</cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode></cac:ContractingSystem><cac:ContractingSystem><cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode listName="framework-agreement">fa-wo-rc</cbc:ContractingSystemTypeCode></cac:ContractingSystem></cac:TenderingProcess><cac:ProcurementProject><cbc:ID schemeName="InternalID">2025.009_1100</cbc:ID><cbc:Name languageID="DEU">crowdworking Plattform</cbc:Name><cbc:Description languageID="DEU">Rahmenvertrag</cbc:Description><cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">services</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode><cac:ProcurementAdditionalType><cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="strategic-procurement">none</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode></cac:ProcurementAdditionalType><cac:MainCommodityClassification><cbc:ItemClassificationCode listName="cpv">79310000</cbc:ItemClassificationCode></cac:MainCommodityClassification><cac:RealizedLocation><cac:Address><cbc:CountrySubentityCode listName="nuts-lvl3">DE300</cbc:CountrySubentityCode><cac:Country><cbc:IdentificationCode listName="country">DEU</cbc:IdentificationCode></cac:Country></cac:Address></cac:RealizedLocation></cac:ProcurementProject></cac:ProcurementProjectLot><cac:TenderResult><cbc:AwardDate>2000-01-01+01:00</cbc:AwardDate></cac:TenderResult></ContractAwardNotice>
