Art. 16 Intercantonal Agreement on Public Procurement (IVöB) - Threshold Values

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

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

3. If the total value of several construction services for the realization of a building reaches the threshold value of the treaty area, the provisions of this agreement for procurements in the treaty area apply. However, if the values of the individual services do not reach two million Swiss francs and the combined value of these services does not exceed 20 percent of the total value of the building, the provisions for procurements outside the treaty area apply to these services (de minimis clause).

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