GAEB stands for "Gemeinsame Ausschreibungs- und Vergabebedingungen" (German for "Common Procurement and Contractual Conditions") and refers to a standard format for tendering and awarding construction contracts in the construction industry. GAEB tenders are structured documents containing information about construction projects, such as performance descriptions, quantity structures, prices, and contract terms. These tenders serve as the basis for bidding and awarding construction contracts.
