When public contracting authorities or sectoral contracting authorities award contracts to undertakings, it is essential that procurement law be adhered to. All works, supply and service contracts must be awarded in accordance with the Federal Procurement Act (Bundesvergabegesetz). In particular, the principles of public procurement law – prohibition of discrimination, transparency, proportionality and equal treatment as well as the principle of free and fair competition – must be observed.
The competent body is the contracting authority or the awarding body named in the invitation to tender.
A digital signature (signature card) is required for the use of all services and to submit tenders. A mobile phone signature is not sufficient.
Application for review or declaratory judgment, application for an interlocutory injunction (competent court: Regional Administrative Court of Lower Austria).
