Art. 16 IVöB - Threshold Values · Threshold Values

1. The choice of procedure is determined by whether a contract reaches a threshold value according to Annexes 1 and 2. The InöB periodically adjusts the threshold values in consultation with the Federal Council in accordance with international obligations.

2. In the event of an adjustment of international obligations concerning threshold values, the Confederation guarantees the cantons' participation.

3. If the total value of multiple construction services for the realization of a construction work reaches the threshold value for the treaty sector, the provisions of this agreement for procurements within the treaty sector shall apply. However, if the values of the individual services do not exceed CHF 2 million and the combined value of these services does not exceed 20% of the total value of the construction work, then the provisions for procurements outside the treaty sector shall apply to these services (triviality clause).

4. Outside the treaty sector, the relevant procedure for construction services is determined based on the value of the individual services.
