Public procurement law experts
Award and market research procedures
Public procurement law is challenging – not only for companies, but also public institutions. Because it not only requires sure instincts and many years of experience, but also a degree of specialist knowledge that shouldn't be underestimated. It is a challenge for everyone involved to obtain an overview of all of the relevant aspects, act in accordance with the law and involve the market.
That is precisely why we founded the Public Business Hub department several years ago: a separate department with competent structures which specialises in the public sector, its requirements and public procurement law.
Thanks to our many years of experience, we have acquired an extensive amount of knowledge of the market and a considerable amount of public procurement law know-how. The combination of these two aspects makes us experts who are always up to date and can quickly adapt to current developments.
We know the market from a bidder's point of view



We generate an acceptance rate of more than 50%!
Quote from Daniela Holzer-Barth on the purpose of the Public Business Hub unit
“With more than 4,000 tenders received each year, the Public Business Hub department is at the heart of public tenders at Hays – whereby the trend is on the increase because of the growing investment requirement of public clients. Thanks to our many years of experience, we have become procurement experts, and can therefore quickly adapt to the developments in the area.”

Our offer: Joint market exploration talks
The goal of a market survey is to give you, the client, an overview of the current market conditions. The result is comprehensive information for you that tells you which services are currently available on the market and which are relevant to you. Our wide range of experience in the field of public procurement shows that a targeted market investigation forms the basis for a successful procurement process. In other words: A market survey ensures that procurement does not "overlook the market".
When the major public procurement law reform took place in 2016, among other things the legislature standardised market research, and therefore created a reliable legal basis for a sensible and economical public procurement procedure for you as the client (for example, see: §28 VgV (Procurement Ordinance), §20 UVgO (Sub-Threshold Procurement Ordinance), §26 SektVO (Public Sector Ordinance).
