Art. 38 Intercantonal Agreement on Public Procurement (IVöB) - Examination of Bids

1. The principal examines the submitted bids for compliance with the formal requirements. Apparent calculation errors are corrected ex officio.

2. The principal may require the bidders to clarify their bids. He documents the inquiry and the answers in writing.

3. If a bid is received with a price that appears unusually low compared to other bids, the principal must obtain appropriate inquiries from the bidder to determine whether the conditions of participation have been met and the further requirements of the call for tenders are understood.

4. If performance and price are to be submitted in separate envelopes, the principal first creates a ranking list based on the quality of the bids. In a second step, he evaluates the total prices.
