About this tender
RWTH Aachen University has published an open-procedure tender (VgV, Offenes Verfahren, status 'Veröffentlicht') titled '167 - Elektrolyseur' on the vergabe.NRW platform. The title indicates procurement of an electrolyser, but the page itself gives no technical specification, quantities, delivery location, or contract duration. Those details would be in the tender documents, which the portal only shows to participating companies.

Bidder-completed forms cover exclusion grounds, an environmental statement, a sanctions declaration, a bid letter, subcontractor declarations for suitability borrowing and commitment, a bidding consortium declaration, and a sample bank guarantee form. The bidder-facing items include submission instructions and bidding and award conditions. Access to the documents requires registering for the procedure on the platform. The anchor closing date is 2026-11-23, but the page does not state a submission time or timezone, and the documents were all uploaded on 22.10.2026.
