⚠️ Community-contributed command — not part of the officially-maintained ArcKit baseline. Output should be reviewed by qualified Vergabejurist / Rechtsabteilung before reliance. Citations to Bundesvergabegesetz 2018 (BVergG 2018) / EU directive transpositions may lag the current text — verify against the source. Items marked [NEEDS VERIFICATION] must be confirmed against the current BVergG 2018 text and the latest EU threshold regulation before external use — thresholds are updated every two years.

You are helping an enterprise architect generate Austrian public procurement documentation aligned with the Bundesvergabegesetz 2018 (BVergG 2018, BGBl. I Nr. 65/2018 as amended) and relevant secondary rules (BVergGVS, sectoral instruments).

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

Note: Before generating, scan projects/ for existing project directories. For each project, list all ARC-*.md artifacts, check external/ for reference documents, and check 000-global/ for cross-project policies. If no external docs exist but they would improve output, ask the user.

Step 0: Read existing artifacts from the project context

MANDATORY (warn if missing):

• REQ (Requirements) — Extract: functional requirements (FR-xxx) for procurement scope, non-functional requirements (NFR-xxx), integration requirements (INT-xxx), data sovereignty and security requirements
  • If missing: warn that procurement documentation requires defined requirements to produce a valid Leistungsbeschreibung

RECOMMENDED (read if available, note if missing):

• RISK (Risk Register) — Extract: vendor risks, technology risks, lock-in risks, sovereignty risks, supply chain risks
• ATNISG (AT NISG Assessment) — Extract: supply chain obligations for Essential/Important entities to include as contract clauses
• ATDSG (AT DSG Assessment) — Extract: data protection clauses for Auftragsverarbeitung (processor) engagements
• SECD (Secure by Design) — Extract: security controls that must be contractually required of the supplier

OPTIONAL (read if available, skip silently):

• PRIN (Architecture Principles, 000-global) — Extract: open source policy, cloud strategy, technology standards
• DATA (Data Model) — Extract: data categories (health data → ELGA/HDS clause, personal data → DPA clause)

Step 0b: Read external documents and policies

• Read any external documents in external/ — extract previous procurement files (Ausschreibungsunterlagen), ANKÖ publication records, BBG framework references, budget documents, existing supplier contracts
• Read any global policies in 000-global/policies/ — extract procurement policy, open source policy, data classification policy
• If procurement-related external documents found, use them to pre-populate threshold analysis and budget constraints.

Step 1: Identify or Create Project

Identify the target project from the hook context. If the project doesn't exist:

1. Use Glob to list projects/*/ directories and find the highest NNN-* number
2. Calculate the next number (zero-padded to 3 digits)
3. Slugify the project name
4. Use the Write tool to create projects/{NNN}-{slug}/README.md and projects/{NNN}-{slug}/vendors/README.md
5. Set PROJECT_ID and PROJECT_PATH

Step 2: Read Source Artifacts

Read all documents from Step 0. Extract key information for the procurement file:

• Total estimated value (Auftragswert, excl. VAT) — from requirements or user input
• Contracting authority type (klassischer Sektor vs Sektorenauftraggeber) — affects thresholds and rules
• Data categories (drives sovereignty, HDS/ELGA, and DPA clauses)
• Security classification level (drives NISG supply-chain clauses)
• Cloud involvement (drives BRZ / sovereign cloud and data-location requirements)

Step 3: Template Reading

Read the template (with user override support):

• First, check if .arckit/templates-custom/at-bvergg-template.md exists in the project root
• If found: Read the user's customized template
• If not found: Read .arckit/templates/at-bvergg-template.md

Step 4: Threshold Analysis

Before generating the document, determine the applicable procedure. EU thresholds are updated every 2 years — verify against the latest Delegierte Verordnung (currently VO 2023/2495 for 2024-2025; check for 2026-2027 update) and the §12 BVergG 2018 transposition.

Threshold Tier	Indicative Auftragswert (excl. VAT)	Procedure	Publication
Direktvergabe	< €100,000	Direct award (no formal procedure)	Informal
Direktvergabe mit Bekanntmachung	€100,000 — €130,000	Direct award with notice	ANKÖ
Unterschwellenbereich (non-open)	Up to EU threshold	Verhandlungsverfahren / nicht-offen	ANKÖ
Oberschwellenbereich — classical (supplies/services, sub-central)	≥ €221,000	Offenes / Nicht-offenes Verfahren / Verhandlungsverfahren	ANKÖ + TED
Oberschwellenbereich — Sektorenauftraggeber (supplies/services)	≥ €443,000	Sektor rules	ANKÖ + TED
Bauaufträge (Works) — Oberschwellenbereich	≥ €5,538,000	Same as supplies/services	ANKÖ + TED

Show threshold determination to the user before generating the full document. Confirm:

• Contracting authority classification (klassisch / Sektor / subsidised under §4 BVergG)
• Whether value aggregation across lots / framework agreement applies (§13 BVergG)
• Whether §9 BVergG exceptions apply (e.g. in-house exemption, inter-authority cooperation)

Step 5: Generate Procurement Documentation

CRITICAL: Use the Write tool to create the procurement document.

1. Detect version: Check for existing ARC-{PROJECT_ID}-BVERGG-v*.md files:

   • No existing file → VERSION="1.0"
   • Existing file → minor increment for updates, major for procedure change

2. Auto-populate Document Control:

   • Document ID: ARC-{PROJECT_ID}-BVERGG-v{VERSION}
   • Status: DRAFT
   • Created Date: {current_date}
   • Next Review Date: {current_date + 6 months}
   • Classification: OFFICIAL (procurement docs become public at publication)
   • Auftragswert, procedure and threshold tier captured in header

3. Section 1: Contracting Authority and Procedure

   • Legal identity of the Auftraggeber and classification (klassisch / Sektor / subsidised)
   • Applicable BVergG 2018 provisions
   • Selected procedure (Offen / Nicht-offen / Verhandlungsverfahren mit/ohne Bekanntmachung / Wettbewerblicher Dialog / Innovationspartnerschaft)
   • Justification for procedure choice (especially for non-open procedures)
   • Framework agreement (Rahmenvereinbarung) considerations if applicable

4. Section 2: Leistungsbeschreibung (Requirements Statement)

   • Functional scope derived from REQ (FR-xxx)
   • Non-functional requirements (performance, availability, security)
   • Integration scope (INT-xxx)
   • Data sovereignty and location requirements
   • Open standards and interoperability requirements
   • Barrier-free / Accessibility (§107 BVergG / EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.2) requirements

5. Section 3: Eignung (Suitability Criteria)

   • Berufliche Zuverlässigkeit (trade registration, no Ausschlussgründe under §78 BVergG)
   • Wirtschaftliche und finanzielle Leistungsfähigkeit (financial criteria)
   • Technische Leistungsfähigkeit (references, certifications)
   • ISO 27001 / ISO 22301 / ISO 9001 where justified and proportionate
   • Maximum document burden — proportionality under §20 BVergG

6. Section 4: Zuschlagskriterien (Award Criteria)

   • Best-price or best-price-performance ratio (Bestbieterprinzip) — BVergG default is Bestbieter for most supplies/services
   • Criteria table with weightings (price %, quality %, sustainability %, innovation %)
   • Sub-criteria and scoring methodology
   • Disclose scoring formulas in the notice

7. Section 5: Vertragliche Regelungen (Contractual Terms)

   • Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements
   • Data processing addendum (Auftragsverarbeitung, Art. 28 GDPR + DSG)
   • NISG supply chain clauses (if contracting authority is Essential/Important)
   • Intellectual property / open-source handling
   • Exit management / transition obligations
   • Sovereign/Austrian hosting or EU-only data-residency clauses where required
   • Penalty (Vertragsstrafe) and termination rights
   • Applicable law: Austrian law; jurisdiction

8. Section 6: Publication and Timeline

   • ANKÖ publication (mandatory for most above-threshold)
   • TED publication for Oberschwellenbereich
   • Minimum Angebotsfrist per §§71–76 BVergG (above-threshold open procedure: min. 30 days, classical sector)
   • Bidder question window (Bewerberfragen) and answers (Q&A published to all)
   • Opening session (Angebotsöffnung) formalities
   • Standstill period (Stillhaltefrist) and notifications
   • Contract award (Zuschlag) announcement

9. Section 7: Review and Remedies (BVergG Book 4)

   • Review before the Bundesverwaltungsgericht (BVwG) for Bundesvergaben
   • Landesverwaltungsgerichte for Land procurements
   • Application fees and interim measures
   • Standstill period compliance
   • Record-keeping for defensibility

10. Section 8: Documentation and File

    • Vergabeakt (procurement file) structure expected by audit bodies (Rechnungshof, EU auditors)
    • Retention obligations
    • Audit trail of decisions and justifications
    • Annex: self-declaration forms (Eigenerklärung / ESPD)

Before writing the file, read .arckit/references/quality-checklist.md and verify all Common Checks pass.

Write the document to:

projects/{project_id}/ARC-{PROJECT_ID}-BVERGG-v{VERSION}.md

Important Notes

• Thresholds change every 2 years: EU Oberschwellenwerte are revised biennially. Always verify the current values against the latest Commission Delegated Regulation and BVergG text — do not rely on the indicative numbers without verification.
• Bundesvergaben vs Landesvergaben: BVergG 2018 covers federal procurement; Land procurement procedures may be subject to additional Landesgesetze. Confirm venue for review.
• ANKÖ publication is mandatory: Most above-threshold procedures require ANKÖ (Auftragnehmerkataster Österreich) publication. TED publication is additionally required for EU Oberschwellen.
• Bestbieter is the default: For most supplies and services, BVergG 2018 requires the best-price-performance-ratio criterion, not lowest-price. Justify clearly if using lowest-price only.
• NISG and DSG interplay: Where the contracting authority is an Essential / Important entity under NISG, or where personal data is processed, the contract must carry the corresponding supply-chain security and Auftragsverarbeitung clauses.
• Standstill period is a hard requirement: Non-observance of the Stillhaltefrist is a frequent basis for successful BVwG applications. Document timing precisely.
• Use Write Tool: BVergG procurement docs cover 8 sections with legal and technical content. Always use the Write tool.
