What Austria Bundesvergabegesetz 2018 (BVergG 2018) requires

The Bundesvergabegesetz 2018 (BVergG 2018), enacted via the Vergaberechtsreformgesetz 2018 (BGBl. I Nr. 65/2018, published 20 August 2018), is Austria's federal Public Procurement Act, transposing EU Directives 2014/23/EU (concessions), 2014/24/EU (public procurement) and 2014/25/EU (utilities) into Austrian law. The Act is structured in Teile covering general provisions, procurement above EU thresholds, procurement in the special sectors, concession contract awards and review procedures before the Bundesverwaltungsgericht. Foundational provisions cover the purpose of the Act, definitions of contracting authority (oeffentlicher Auftraggeber) and sector contracting entity (Sektorenauftraggeber), thresholds (Schwellenwerte) aligned with EU values, the choice of procurement procedure including offenes Verfahren, nicht offenes Verfahren, Verhandlungsverfahren, wettbewerblicher Dialog and Innovationspartnerschaft, the selection criteria (Eignungspruefung), the mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds, the application of the Bestbieterprinzip (best-bidder principle, equivalent to MEAT) as the standard award criterion, and the review procedure conducted before the Bundesverwaltungsgericht with interim relief and contract invalidation as available remedies. Implementing details are set out in the Bundesvergabeverordnung.
