Information for Public Contracting Authorities
The public contracting authorities can inquire about the companies of the main and ancillary building trade with regard to their suitability for public building contracts in Germany in the official list of approved economic operators.
The official list of approved economic operators is published and will be updated continuously. There is a freely accessible public part and a password-protected part with details of approved economic operators.
The key to the approved economic operator is his registration number. Thies registration number starts with a 3-digit prefix, which identifies the prqualification office, followed by a 6-digit number ("000000") which is significant for the approved economic operator. Both numerical sequences are split by a 'point'.
By means of the prefix the following prequalification offices can be itentified:
110. - PöyryCert GmbH & Co.KG
The public part of the list of approved economic operators gives information about name, adress, service ranges and registration number of the approved economic operator.
The password protected part of the list of approved economic operators additionally gives information about evaluation of the approved economic operator in accordance with the submitted certificates required by §6a VOB/A , §6a EU VOB/A respectively §6a VS VOB/A.
The public contracting authorities can get a Login to the password protected part of the list of approved economic operators filling and sending a form "Request Login" at no charge. In case of subcontracting of engineering offices by public contracting authorities for approving economic operators, these commissioned offices can also get a Login filling and sending the form "Request Login" at no charge. This requires a additional written confirmation of the public conbtracting authorities that the engeneering office works by order of the public contracting authority.

1. Validity of the prequalification PQ-VOB and data protection
The validity of the prequalification and its evidence always results from the current Internet excerpt. Certificates with a duration are not issued by the PQ-Verein and are not valid. The PQ offices continuously update evidence of the approved economic operators as far as available. Expiring certificates result in an immediate withdrawal of the prequalification. This does not affect the consideration of current findings of the public contracting authorities with the company concerned.
In connection with the prequalification, approved economic operators have the opportunity to have "Additional evidence" added to the PQ list on their own responsibility and independently of the prequalification in accordance with the Annex "Additional evidence".
