Digital prequalification service for public procurement procedures

We developed a digital, nationwide solution for the public procurement process for companies for the subproject “Participation in Award / Prequalification” of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.

Shortcuts to the project

Prequalification allows companies participating in public tendering procedures to prove their suitability in advance, independently of the tender, and to register in official directories. The aim of the digitization project is to make suitability checks more user-centered, efficient, and legally compliant. We were awarded the contract for the design and implementation of this sub-project by the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. As one of the first OZG projects, the prequalification portal went live in the MVP version in April 2022.

The new digital prequalification service

Initially, we were tasked with designing a streamlined, digitized prequalification process. A major challenge was that the prequalification process is not subject to a uniform procedure, nor is it managed by a higher authority with overall responsibility. Based on legal principles, extensive research, and interviews with stakeholders, technical requirements were finally documented and prioritized in close cooperation with the service manager of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. Using agile design thinking methods, we developed user models (known as personas) and defined a user journey that maps future interactions.

Umsetzungsphase

Das Präqualifizierungsportal ging in der MVP-Version im April 2022 endlich live. Die Weiterentwicklung schloss sich nahtlos an. So werden nach und nach weitere Verfahrensbeteiligte angebunden und erweiterte Funktionen freigeschaltet. Der Roll-out in nachnutzende Bundesländer startete Ende 2022 und wird weiterhin fortgesetzt.
