Contracts for Services and Fee Agreements

Contracts for work and services are intended to meet specific needs; as such, they are generally subject to public procurement law and are therefore awarded in accordance with public procurement regulations. As a rule, therefore, at least three written bids must be obtained. If, due to specific requirements or specialized expertise, only one contractor is eligible, this monopoly position must be fully justified. However, the submission of a bid by the selected contractor is required in all cases. At the university, contracts for services may only be awarded to natural persons—for legal entities and natural persons acting in a commercial capacity, the procurement of services must be covered by a procurement request.

To conclude a contract for services, please use the appropriate application form and follow the instructions. Theapplicationmust be submitted to Department 1.2 Finance in a timely manner, i.e., at least three weeks before the intended start ofthe work.
Work may not begin until the application has been reviewed and a legally valid decision has been made. 
Invoicing is always required and must comply with the requirements of § 14 UStG for small businesses.
Prior to the payment of remuneration, the applicant shall confirm the “factual accuracy” that the work or partial work has been properly performed.
