If, in a tendering procedure, all the offers are more expensive than the client had previously estimated, no contract needs to be concluded. The client can terminate the procedure without having to spend any more money. The public client is only at risk if his original cost estimate was grossly inaccurate. For example, because it based its cost estimate on outdated data. In this case, it may even happen that the client has to pay the bidder who submitted the most economically advantageous tender compensation for lost profits. The following video provides information on the current case law.
