What Is a Procurement Coordinator (Vergabekoordinator, Germany)?
This is a German procurement term. The person who coordinates procurement procedures within an organisation.
What does a Vergabekoordinator do?
Coordinates procurement procedures within an organisation: scheduling, ensuring the right procedure is chosen, checking documents for compliance and liaising between the requesting department and the procurement office.
Is it a formal role?
It is an organisational role rather than a legal one. Larger authorities often designate one for complex procurements.
How does it differ from the Vergabestelle?
The procurement office runs the procedure. The coordinator makes sure it happens in the right order and with the right inputs.
