Below the European threshold value, i.e. for national awards, the Public Procurement and Contract Regulations for Construction Works (VOB Part A and B) apply. For services that are not construction services, the Sub-Threshold Procurement Regulations apply.
The City of Bocholt has issued tender conditions and additional contract conditions for construction and supply/services. The current versions of the texts are available under the following headings:
Construction work:
Construction works are works of any kind by which a building is constructed, maintained, altered or removed. Part A of the Vergabe- und Vertragsordnung für Bauleistungen (VOB) contains the general provisions for the award of construction works, Part B concerns the execution of construction works.
- Here you will find the conditions for tendering.

Supply or services:
Services in the sense of the Sub-Threshold Contract Regulations (UVgO) are all supplies and services that are not construction services (see above). The UVgO regulates the competitive procedure.

Procurement intentions and contracts awarded
In addition to the Construction Tendering and Contract Regulations (VOB), the Sub-Threshold Contracting Regulations (UVgO) also provide for so-called ex-ante and ex-post regulations in order to comply with the award principle of fair competition.
The text versions of the laws and standards can be found at https://www.vergabe.nrw.de/wirtschaft/vergaberecht-informationen-fuer-die-wirtschaft. The consequence of these standards is that the contracting authority must publicly state procurement intentions in advance (ex-ante).
These are published in the section Public Tenders.
In addition, the contracting authority must publish the essential data of the procurement procedure. Due to the different standard situation, the contracts awarded are presented in two lists.
