forum vergabe is a non-profit cooperation and recognized as charitable. We act on a neutral basis. Our main task is to offer a forum for discussion and knowledge-sharing to all parties related to public procurement. Tenderers/business units, public authorities, judges, scientists, lawyers – they are represented in our membership and speak and discuss at our seminars.
We cover the whole range of public procurement. We do not receive subsidies from the state, but we finance our activities through membership fees and conference fees.
To the public and our members we offer a wide variety of information and services:
- seminars on all areas of public procurement
- internet-based research of legislation and jurisdiction
- monthly update in our magazine “Monatsinfo”
forum vergabe donates the "International Public Procurement Award", in 2013 with EUR 10,000.
