bereitgestellt

Bereitgestellt is the past participle of the German verb bereitstellen, which means to make something available, to provide, or to furnish. The verb combines bereit (ready) and stellen (to place or set), reflecting the idea of placing something at someone’s disposal. The term is widely used in technical, administrative, and logistical contexts to indicate that data, services, or physical resources have been prepared for use.

In grammar, bereitstellen is a transitive verb. Its past participle, bereitgestellt, is used to form perfect tenses with the auxiliary haben: "Der Anbieter hat die Daten bereitgestellt." In passive voice, the same idea is expressed with wurde or sind worden: "Die Daten wurden bereitgestellt" or "Die Daten sind bereitgestellt worden." As a modifier, the participle can function attributively: "bereitgestellte Daten" or "die bereitgestellten Dateien." The term can be paraphrased by phrases such as zur Verfügung stellen or bereitmachen, depending on nuance.

Contexts include information technology, public administration, logistics, and business processes, where a resource is defined as prepared and available for use. Examples: "Die Software-Updates wurden bereitgestellt" or "Die Dokumente wurden dem Team bereitgestellt." The word is neutral and formal, suitable for documentation, reports, and technical writing.
