At the superordinate level are the framework contracts or agreements from award procedures that have been concluded with the successful bidders. The call process is a follow-up process to the framework agreement under contract law (Code of Obligations) and is not part of public procurement law (Public Procurement Act, PPA). The framework agreement does not actually require a bidder to provide any specific services. Only the conditions (framework conditions, prices and volumes) are defined for future service procurements, which take place over a specified period. This is the basis for the calls (mini-tenders) that the Federal Administration's requisitioners can make.
The key factor was the size and controlling of the ICT service portfolio. The basis was provided by WTO tender 16025 ALPIN, in accordance with the Federal Council decree of 30 April 2014. This resulted in the replacement of the previously manual process of calls carried out via MS Office with a modern, purely digital, faster, simpler, and transparent solution. With this new system, procurements are now carried out in compliance with the Federal Act on Public Procurement (Public Procurement Act, PPA; 172.056.1).
The mini-tender solution implements a new business model. An interaction takes place between the requisitioner and the supplier, i.e. a two-sided market. This has made it possible to integrate an optimised call process into the MTM SaaS solution in an ideal way. The customers and suppliers are directly involved in the digitalised process.
MTM is the result of an agile project with the goal of disruptively transforming public procurement processes from individually interpreted application and approval documents to a customer-centric collaboration without media discontinuities. MTM represents a great simplification and facilitation for everyone involved and is easy and secure to use. MTM is a real win-win situation across the board, but especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have only limited administrative capacities for compliant bidding.
