Procedure details
Description
The aim of the regulations is to ensure cost-effective purchasing through competition. The obligation to behave economically is necessary to ensure that taxpayers' money is used sparingly and appropriately. In addition, the aim is to prevent the state, as a major buyer on the market, from abusing its market strength. A further aim is to open up public procurement markets in the EU through transparent and non-discriminatory procedures for all potential European applicants for public contracts.
There are different types of procurement procedures:
- The public invitation to tender (Europe-wide: the so-called open procedure), which invites an unlimited number of companies to submit bids.
- The restricted invitation to tender (Europe-wide: the so-called restricted procedure), which stipulates that only a limited number of companies are invited to submit bids.)
- The third type is the negotiated award (Europe-wide: the so-called negotiated procedure), which is the only procedure that allows negotiations with the companies.
The contracting authority can choose between the public invitation to tender and the restricted invitation to tender with a call for competition, as it organizes the potentially greatest competition. The other procedures may only be chosen under strict conditions.
A Europe-wide invitation to tender for a contract must always be issued if certain contract values are exceeded. For supply and service contracts of federal agencies, this applies from 140,000 euros, for supply and service contracts of all other contracting authorities from 216,000 euros and for construction contracts from 5.404 million euros.
