Flood Protection — Public Tenders
Flood protection has gained massive importance in Germany after the devastating flood events of recent years. The federal government, the federal states and municipalities are investing substantial resources in dyke construction, retention basins and technical flood protection installations. Procurement follows VOB/A and, for larger measures, EU procurement law — frequently co-financed by funding programmes.
Typical tenders in flood protection
- New build or upgrading of a flood-protection dyke
- Construction of a flood-retention basin
- Construction of a mobile flood-protection wall for an inner-city area
- Bank stabilisation and renaturation of a watercourse
- Installation of flood pumping stations and sluice gates
- Earthworks for a flood channel as a retention area

Challenges in finding tenders
Flood-protection projects are awarded by a wide variety of contracting authorities — water management offices, dyke associations, municipalities and state-owned operations. Responsibilities vary considerably by federal state, and tenders are spread across just as many procurement platforms.
Projects often span a broad service spectrum from earthworks to reinforced concrete and mechanical engineering. The individual trades are awarded partly jointly and partly in separate lots. For specialised companies, it is challenging to find precisely those tenders that match their capability profile.
