After the market consultation deadline has expired, ÖBB may invite interested companies to non-binding industry discussions or dialogues. These discussions serve exclusively for the objective discussion of market information, technical concepts, innovative solution approaches, and the assessment of implementation, scheduling, and risk factors in connection with a possible future procurement. Participation in the market consultation and in any industry discussions is voluntary and does not give rise to any entitlement to an invitation, participation in a subsequent procurement procedure, or the award of a contract. In particular, participation in the market consultation or information obtained from it does not give rise to any rights to equal treatment, protection of legitimate expectations, or conclusion of a contract. This market consultation does not constitute a notice, an invitation to submit tenders, or part of a procurement procedure. ÖBB may use the information obtained in the course of the market consultation while observing the principles of procurement law, without this giving rise to obligations to conduct a procurement procedure or to structure such a procedure in any particular way. ÖBB expressly reserves the right to: – adjust or terminate the content, scope, and course of the market consultation at any time, – discontinue individual or all industry discussions, and – refrain entirely or partially from initiating a procurement procedure.
