Security for Essen: Luther advises RGE Servicegesellschaft Essen on awarding security and service contracts

Düsseldorf, 21.05.2024 – RGE, a subsidiary of the City of Essen, invited tenders for framework agreements in two lots in a Europe-wide procurement procedure for the long-term retention of high-performance cooperation partners for security and services and successfully concluded the procedure. The project was supported by Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft in terms of procurement and contract law.

Background

As a municipal service provider, RGE is the point of contact for institutions and event organisers when it comes to security and other services. The service portfolio ranges from property protection to reception services, trade fair and event support to emergency response in the event of incidents and security incidents. RGE can only provide its personnel and professional expertise with co-operation partners. It is therefore all the more dependent on reliable and sustainable partnerships that guarantee the high quality standards of the RGE.

RGE relied on the expertise of Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft for the development of the award strategy, the preparation and implementation of the tendering process through to the award of the contract and the defence against procedural complaints from the bidders. Thanks to the successful implementation of the award procedure, sufficient cooperation partners were gained for RGE.

"Luther's procurement specialists provided us with competent and goal-orientated advice in every phase of this complex procedure. We would like to thank Luther's entire procurement team for their successful and cooperative partnership," says Marc-Tobias Huber (Head of Human Resources, Organisation and Legal Department, in-house lawyer at RGE).

"The high standards of process integrity and quality paid off. The award procedure was successfully completed within the desired framework," says Martin Steuber, a specialist lawyer for public procurement law at Luther. "The sophisticated concept and seamless cooperation with the client throughout the entire procurement process contributed to the success," adds Jan Lachhein, also a public procurement law specialist at Luther.
