If you would like to find out about a planned contract award, you can view the preliminary information on an announcement. The preliminary information serves to inform interested bidders about intended contract awards at an early stage. This enables you to prepare for the tender in advance if you are interested. 

In connection with award procedures, the prior information notice is an announcement by the contracting authority in which it announces its intention to award a contract. Preliminary information precedes the actual award procedure. The decision to publish a prior information notice on a planned procurement procedure is at the discretion of the contracting authority. 

The prior information notice is obligatory only if the contracting authority intends to make use of the possibility to shorten the bidding period or if the prior information notice is intended to serve as a call for competition and replace the contract notice. 

The contracting authority may publish the prior information notice in the buyer profile or send the prior information notice to the Publications Office of the European Union. If the prior information notice is published in the buyer profile, a notice on it must be sent to the Publications Office of the European Union. 

Procurement profiles are published, among others, in the framework of the procurement platforms of the federal states as well as in the data service Public Procurement. 

The data service is the freely accessible central place to find preliminary information on an announcement that is regularly supplied by other procurement platforms of the federal, state and local governments. For the first time, companies and those interested in procurement issues can find all the relevant preliminary information and contract notices in one central location.
