What Are the Deadlines in the Procurement Procedure (Fristen im Vergabeverfahren, Germany)?
This is a German procurement term. The various statutory or contracting-authority-set deadlines throughout a procedure.
Which deadlines matter most to a bidder?
The application deadline, the tender deadline, the deadline for bidder questions, the binding period, the standstill period before award, and the fifteen-day deadline for applying for review.
Are the deadlines fixed in law?
The minimum lengths are. The buyer sets the actual dates in the notice and may lengthen them, but may only shorten below the minimum in the cases the rules allow.
What if a deadline falls on a weekend?
It still applies as stated. Deadlines in procurement are not automatically extended to the next working day, so check the exact time.
