What Is a Two-Stage Procedure (Zweistufiges Vergabeverfahren, Germany)?
This is a German procurement term. A procedure with a competition for participation followed by a bidding phase.
What is a zweistufiges Vergabeverfahren?
A procedure with a competition for participation first, in which candidates prove their suitability, followed by a bidding phase for the selected candidates. The restricted and negotiated procedures are two-stage.
What is the benefit for bidders?
The full bid is only prepared if the company has been selected, so the effort is better targeted. The drawback is that selection is competitive.
How are candidates selected?
On the published selection criteria, such as references and capacity, with the number stated in the notice.
