F.A.Q.

After login, select EDITION in the MANAGEMENT menu on the left-hand side.
There you will see the edition you are currently using.
Now choose the Professional or Enterprise edition and follow the brief instructions.
After a few steps, you will then be able to set up individual search profiles and automatically activate the corresponding e-mail notification service.
To automatically find interesting and suitable contracts for your company, it is necessary to set up search profiles. The e-mail notification service is automatically activated each time a search profile is created. However, you can also disable this at any time.
You can find further information in our guide (free download) and in our video.
The Basic Edition is permanently free of charge.
If you choose the Professional, Enterprise or Supreme edition, you will always have a free 30-day trial period from the time you register or upgrade the edition to test all of the portal's features. If you are happy with DTVP's service, you do not need to do anything else. You will receive an invoice after the end of the trial period.
If you do not wish to continue using DTVP, written notice by e-mail, post or fax is sufficient.
On the DTVP website, you can search daily for several thousand contracts tendered across Germany and the EU. You will find the most diverse contracts from many federal states as well as all tenders above the EU thresholds (e.g. starting at a contract value of €214,000 for other supplies and services).
Whether only one announcement is made in a tender procedure or whether award documents are also available electronically, whether bidders can ask questions or whether electronic bids are permitted depends on the extent to which a contracting authority is already using the German Contracting Portal today.
No. If the invitation to tender is made electronically via DTVP, we will not charge any user fees.
This means that you do not have to transfer the monthly fee due every month, but can pay the entire annual amount at once.
Should you decide in the meantime that you no longer wish to use the German Contracting Portal and cancel your paid edition, you will of course receive a credit note for the overpaid monthly fees.
Whenever this is offered by the respective contracting authority via the German Contracting Portal.
Your company is already registered.
Multiple registrations are not possible with the free Basic Edition. If you require further access, the Enterprise or Supreme Edition is available for a fee.
The contract can be terminated in writing at any time at the end of the month by both DTVP GmbH and the user.
Send us written cancellation by e-mail, post or fax.
