EVB-IT contract software

The contracts are divided into two types (these contracts are available for download in various file formats (including PDF and MS Word) on the website of the Federal Government for Information Technology).

Basic EVB-IT contracts:

1. EVB-IT Framework Agreement
   • The EVB-IT Framework Agreement makes it possible to agree the various service areas of the existing EVB-IT contract types. These contract types are referred to as “modules” in the context of the framework agreement and represent “Part B” of the agreement. In addition, the framework agreement includes a Part A, which contains general provisions that are binding for all service areas.
2. EVB-IT Purchase
   • This basic contract is to be used for the purchase of unlimited use of hardware and, if applicable, standard software.
3. EVB-IT Cloud
   • The agreements on Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Managed Cloud Services (MCS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) are described for the basic contract EVB-IT Cloud.
4. EVB-IT Maintenance S
   • This contract type regulates the obligations for the maintenance of standard software. Depending on the agreement, this can be the provision of upgrades or new versions or the rectification of defects. This does not include the further development or error correction of the software, only the provision of the error correction(s) for this.

In 1972, the BVB (Special Conditions of Contract) were introduced and regulated the procurement of information technology in public administration. The introduction of EVB-IT ensured that the contractual basis was modernised and adapted to today's information technology requirements. Developed by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, EVB-IT creates a framework that optimally takes into account the interests of both clients and contractors in the IT sector.

EVB-IT provides a structured basis in public administration for the effective and transparent drafting of contracts in the area of IT procurement.

The aim of EVB-IT is to clearly regulate a solution for the legal, economic and technical aspects of IT projects and thus ensure legal certainty for all contracting parties. The standardised regulations are intended to make the procurement of IT services more efficient and create uniform conditions for all parties involved.

The introduction of DocumentIQ emphasises smartLCM Contract Management's continuous willingness to innovate. Companies that rely on intelligent data capture and flexible document design will find DocumentIQ to be a powerful solution for public administration.
