On behalf of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community, we are evaluating the VOB/A between January and November 2021 with a view to determining the optimal value thresholds for the selection of procurement procedures below the EU threshold. At the same time, we are analysing the effects of increased value thresholds in terms of speed, prices and tenderer behaviour in public housing construction and in construction contracts awarded in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Once the evaluation is complete, we will make the study available for download.
