What Is a Single-Stage Procedure (Einstufiges Vergabeverfahren, Germany)?
This is a German procurement term. A procedure with no separate competition for participation, in which all interested parties submit a bid directly.
What is an einstufiges Vergabeverfahren?
A procedure without a separate competition for participation: all interested companies submit a complete bid directly. The open procedure and the öffentliche Ausschreibung are single-stage.
What does it mean for bidders?
The full bid, including suitability evidence, must be prepared without knowing how many competitors there are. Effort is higher per tender, but there is no risk of not being invited.
When is it used?
For standard contracts where the buyer can specify the need precisely and expects a manageable number of bids.
