Public Procurement / Tender Law
Public procurement law has been continuously evolving, particularly since the comprehensive reform in 2016. Since October 2018, all EU-wide tenders must be conducted electronically via procurement platforms. National tenders have also undergone significant changes with new regulations such as the Unterschwellenvergabeordnung (UVgO) and VOB/A, alongside the latest rulings from procurement chambers, higher regional courts, and the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
