Zusätzliche Angaben\
1) COSTA receives funding from the Federal Republic of Germany, represented by the Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and\
Transport, located at Invalidenstraße 44, 10155 Berlin, which is represented by the Federal Agency for Administrative Services,\
located at Schlossplatz 9, 26603 Aurich (grantor) under grant number 45 BT008001 for the in-stallation of a shore power system on\
both sides on board the cruise ship AIDAnova.\
The funding project is summarised as follows:\
The AIDAnova will begin voyages from German ports offering shore power supply in the coming 2023 summer season. To make\
use of the facility, the AIDAnova is to be equipped with a shore power system on both sides of the ship. On the starboard side, there\
is already a prepared room and a shell door. In order to make shore power usable in Hamburg and Kiel, among other places, a\
further room is to be created on the port side with a new shell door. Two HVSC switchboards must be installed and wired. A section\
for the shore power system has to be added to the main switchboard. In addition, an adaptation of the ship's automation and power\
management system has to be made.\
The provisions underlying the grant obligate COSTA to conduct the present award procedure on the basis of the Sub-Threshold\
Award Regulation (Unterschwellenvergabeordnung - UVgO) (with the exception of Section 22, 28 (1) sentence 3, 30, 38(2) to (4),\
44 and 46 UVgO).\
With the present award procedure, COSTA fulfils this obligation exclusively for the part of the service described below (Item IV).\
2) The present procedure concerns the award of technical planning services and thus freelance services within the meaning of\
Section 50 UVgO. According to Section 50 UVgO public contracts for services provided in the context of freelance activities or\
offered in competition with freelance professionals must, in principle, be awarded on a competitive basis. In this context, as much\
competition as possible according to the nature of the business or the particular circumstances shall be created. Therefore, a\
formal procedure is not required by law. For reasons of transparency and legal certainty, the contracting authority has nevertheless\
decided to award the services under this procurement procedure in a public invitation to tender pursuant to Section 8 (1) in\
conjunction with Section 9 UVgO but without application of Sections 22, 28 (1) sentence 3, 30, 38 (2) to (4), 44 and 46 UVgO and in\
accordance with these procedural provisions.\
