Document background
Administrative Contracts are essential legal instruments in Austrian public administration, used to formalize relationships between public authorities and private entities. These contracts are specifically designed to address administrative matters while protecting public interests and ensuring compliance with Austrian administrative law. The document is particularly relevant when public authorities need to establish binding agreements for public services, infrastructure projects, or other administrative actions. Administrative Contracts must align with the General Administrative Procedure Act (AVG), Federal Constitutional Law (B-VG), and relevant EU regulations. They are distinct from private law contracts due to their public law nature and the special rights and obligations they create for both administrative authorities and private parties. The document typically includes specific provisions for administrative oversight, public interest protection, and dispute resolution through administrative courts.
