Short description
Procurement law has established itself as one of the economically most important legal areas. The dynamic legal development presents clients and contractors with challenging tasks. It is important to determine the procurement standards to be applied in individual cases from the wealth of legal sources (EU procurement law, federal procurement law, nine state procurement control laws and regulations) and then use them correctly – especially in the sense of economically expedient procurement. A constantly growing amount of jurisprudence from procurement control bodies and frequent amendments to procurement laws and guidelines make procurement law a special legal discipline.
This newly edited and expanded 4th edition of the Public Procurement Law Handbook takes into account the numerous new developments in this area of law and brings a proven standard work up to date. The draft of the 2015 Federal Procurement Law Amendment approved by the Council of Ministers in July 2015 is also taken into account.
The structure based on the chronological sequence of a procurement procedure, which was tried and tested in the previous editions, was retained. Frequently asked questions in all tenders (e.g. threshold calculation, choice of procedure type, subcontractor services, alternative and variant offers) are discussed in detail. A separate chapter is dedicated to the special features of sector allocation. In a final chapter, legal protection under procurement law is dealt with comprehensively. All relevant decisions from the ECJ, the Austrian procurement control authorities and also a large number of German decisions from recent years are incorporated into the individual subject areas.
New chapters have been added on BVergGVS (Federal Procurement Act Defense and Security) and on the relationship between procurement law and antitrust law, state aid law and unfair competition law (UWG). Throughout the entire work, particular emphasis was placed on using language that is understandable even for non-lawyers.
