Context

What matters in public sector projects

Public sector projects follow laws, procurement rules and committee cycles.

OZG
The Online Access Act requires public administrations to offer services digitally as well.
Vergabe
Procurement follows public procurement law with fixed procedures and deadlines.
Gremien
Decisions go through committees and budget cycles, which lengthens approvals.
Datenschutz
Citizen data requires GDPR-compliant processes, often with a data protection impact assessment.
Challenges

Typical hurdles in Public Sector projects

1

Regulatory requirements

e-Government, EU AI Act, procurement law, data protection: many legal frames at once.

2

Budget discipline

Fiscal years, appropriation rules, fund management: strict rules that shape project control.

3

Long approval processes

Multi-stage decisions, political alignment, committee schedules.

4

Documentation

File-duty, audit-proof, accountable during audit checks and FOI requests.

Lifecycle
