What is an Evaluation Report?
The evaluation report (German: Wertungsbericht) is an internal document of the contracting authority that systematically records the assessment of all received bids. It forms the basis for the award decision.
Legal Framework
- Section 8 VgV: Documentation and procurement record
- Section 20 VOB/A: Procurement record for construction
- Section 55 UVgO: Procurement record below thresholds
Structure
A complete evaluation report follows four stages:
- Formal review: Timely receipt, completeness, signatures
- Suitability assessment: Professional competence, financial standing, reliability
- Price reasonableness: Check for abnormally low tenders
- Value-for-money assessment: Application of award criteria, scoring, ranking
Significance for Legal Protection
The evaluation report is central to review proceedings. Procurement chambers review based on the report, and documentation gaps can lead to annulment.
