Germany – Project-management services other than for construction work – Projektträger für das Investitionsprogramm Sanierung von Frauenhäuser

The German Bundestag has allocated 150 million euros for the renovation of women's shelters through the 2026 federal budget. The funds are earmarked in the budget of the special fund for Infrastructure and Climate Neutrality and are available for the promotion of multi-year investment projects. Funding periods (project durations) of up to three and a half years are planned. Many support or protection facilities for women and children affected by violence face a significant need for renovation due to their structural condition, increased security and accessibility requirements, and growing needs for child-friendly accommodation. A sustainable renovation of these facilities is of central social importance to ensure that women and children affected by violence have a safe, dignified, and reliable place of protection. Reducing the existing backlog of renovations also supports the further implementation of the Istanbul Convention and helps to design the facilities in a sustainable and future-proof manner in the long term. The Federal Government therefore supports the sustainable modernization and renovation of women's shelters. The Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) has commissioned the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) to implement the federal program. Given that the BBSR does not have the necessary personnel resources for implementation, support from a contractor (AN) is required, who will work in close coordination with the BBSR (AG, "client"). Delegation (authority to perform sovereign tasks in the forms of action of public law) is sought. The funding call is expected to be published by the BBSR in mid-November 2026. The services of the AN shall generally cover the entire project duration, including project completion after verification of the use of funds and any earmarking (approximately 31.12.2030). The services of the AN should therefore initially be agreed until 31.12.2030 with the option of three extensions of one year each (up to a maximum of 31.12.2033).
