# Creation of an Open Source Hardware model contract

Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg is seeking a contractor to prepare a model contract for Open Source Hardware. The available canonical notice identifies the university’s central procurement office, the place of performance in 06108 Halle (Saale), and an offer deadline of 28 October 2026 at 23:59 as printed in the source description. The immutable snapshot separately records 22:59 UTC; the time-zone relationship is not verified. The detailed official service.bund page could not be identity-verified during capture, so the available source does not establish the procedure’s eligibility rules, deliverables, evaluation method, contract value, submission route or contract term. No supporting draft contract or procurement attachments were read.
