What Is the VgV?
The VgV (Vergabeverordnung) is a German regulation. It sets out the detailed procedural rules for awarding public supply and service contracts above the EU thresholds in Germany, based on Part 4 of the GWB. Works contracts above the thresholds follow the VOB/A instead.
What does the VgV regulate?
The procedures for supply and service contracts above the EU thresholds: types of procedure, deadlines, electronic submission, the ESPD, suitability and award criteria, and special rules for planning services.
Does it cover works?
No. Works contracts above the threshold follow VOB/A section 2 under the GWB.
How does it relate to the UVgO?
The UVgO mirrors the VgV for below-threshold supply and service contracts, with simplified rules.
