Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court could preliminarily examine ex officio that the appellant should have been excluded from the procurement procedure.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Because the appellant itself sought the award of the contract, the court could first examine whether it was eligible to remain in the procedure.
Extrahierte Begründung
The requested relief presupposed participation in the tender. The cantonal court therefore acted without arbitrariness in addressing exclusion as a preliminary question.
