Berlin, Germany – May 12, 2025 – Eviden, a company of the Atos Group, and IT partner veenion GmbH announce the successful conclusion of the contract for the modernization project “Kaufhaus des Bundes – Next Generation (KdB NG)”. The KdB NG replaces the existing system and implements a convenient and modern purchasing portal. With this new purchasing platform, electronic procurement for over 480 federal authorities and federal institutions in Germany will be fully digitally mapped and the existing system will be significantly improved on several relevant levels. The platform enables around 22,000 registered users to purchase supplies and services quickly and securely online - another milestone for the digitization of public administration.
The “Kaufhaus des Bundes” has developed into a comprehensive procurement platform for authorities. Through the central bundling of procurement needs of federal authorities, it offers a wide range of supplies and services, from office supplies to IT services to vehicles and much more.
The new solution, based on the standard software 'open ordering' from our partner veenion, creates the basis for workflow-driven process optimization. In this way, a modern and transparent purchasing experience can be realized by implementing a continuous electronic process chain between the awarding body, the contractor and the user.
The implementation takes place in 3 phases:
In addition to providing the software, Eviden and veenion will optimize the solution through continuous further developments and adaptations to the specific requirements of the federal administration.
Eviden has been supporting the “Kaufhaus des Bundes” since 2001. This many years of experience and Eviden's in-depth know-how in the public sector and public procurement solutions form the basis for this new project. The cooperation between Eviden and BeschA enables the development of a tailor-made solution that is precisely tailored to the needs of public administration. The new Kaufhaus des Bundes sets standards for a modern, secure and efficient procurement solution.
Veenion GmbH has specialized in procurement solutions for cities, authorities and research institutions for over 25 years. Together with Eviden, veenion successfully implements projects and creates networks through e-procurement solutions that efficiently bring together users, purchasers and suppliers - from the creation of the need to payment.
The new procurement solution offers numerous advantages for public administration:
“With the new procurement solution for the “Kaufhaus des Bundes”, we can significantly advance the digitization process in public administration”, says Boris Hecker, Managing Director of Eviden Deutschland GmbH, Atos Group. “Our many years of experience in implementing IT projects for the public sector is the basis for a future-proof and sustainable procurement platform that meets the specific requirements of the authorities.”
“Our close cooperation with Eviden has made it possible to develop a tailor-made solution that can be flexibly adapted to the individual needs of the authorities”, explains Manuel Delvo, Managing Director of veenion GmbH. “We are pleased to lead the “Kaufhaus des Bundes” into the next generation with our technology and take procurement to a new level.”
“The “Kaufhaus des Bundes” is the central procurement platform that has enabled federal authorities to procure efficiently and securely for years. With the new solution, we are ensuring that all requirements for a modern and user-friendly Kaufhaus des Bundes will continue to be met in the future”, explains Frank Schmitz, Head of Department Z of the Procurement Office of the BMI. “With the new shop solution, the digitization of the ordering process of the public sector is being consistently driven forward and placed on a sustainable basis.“
