Practical preparation of information on the application of the VOB/A and to carry out the offer process the provisions for the award of works contracts, contracting authorities and terms and conditions for the execution of works are regulated in the VOB. The General provisions for the procurement of construction services for public sector clients are included in the part A of the VOB. The mandatory application of section 1 of the VOB/A arises from the financial regulations by federal, State and local. The VOB/A rules of section 2 facilities are granted by Contracting for works contracts above the thresholds referred to in 2 VgV (public procurement regulation) pursuant to section 100 of the Act against restraints of competition (GWB). The VOB/A apply provisions of section 3 pursuant to article 100, paragraph 1 GWB to the subcontracting of works contracts, contracting authorities, which are defence – or security-related, from reaching the thresholds. In the one-day Intensive seminar VOB/A of the Haus der Technik on 17 June 2013 in Essen presented Dr. Reinhard Voppel, RA RA’e Osenbruck Bubert Kirsten Voppel, Cologne, based on paragraphs to the tender and award of construction services.
Participants receive practical information about the legal character of the VOB/A, its meaning and purpose, as well as about the types of procurement the public, restricted tendering, as well as hands-free award, also in their precedence among themselves in an intensive training. To the three-stage bidding process, formal exclusion, suitability and quality are treated as also calculation errors and the problem of the “cheapest price”. The opening is treated as any claims for damages by bidders, as well as the verification process.
