Document background
The Tender Agreement serves as the foundational document for public procurement processes under German law. It is used when public entities need to procure goods, services, or works through a competitive bidding process. The document ensures compliance with the German Act Against Restraints of Competition (GWB), the Public Procurement Ordinance (VgV), and EU procurement directives. This Tender Agreement outlines all aspects of the procurement process, including qualification criteria, submission requirements, evaluation methodology, and award procedures. It is particularly crucial for projects above EU thresholds, where strict procurement regulations must be followed to ensure transparency, fair competition, and equal treatment of bidders. The document typically includes detailed technical specifications, pricing requirements, legal obligations, and compliance measures specific to the German procurement landscape.
