Unsere Mitgliedsverbände und deren Mitgliedsunternehmen erleben Auftragsvergaben aus zwei unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Zum einen organisieren Leistungsträger soziale Dienstleistungen zunehmend als öffentlichen Auftrag. In diesem Fall müssen sich die Mitgliedsunternehmen als Bieter an Ausschreibungen beteiligen. Daneben bewerben sich Sozialunternehmen um Fördermittel von Bund, Ländern und Kommunen.

What they argued
The public procurement law grant law interface proves to be a heavy burden for beneficiaries who are not contracting authorities themselves but receive funding from the ESF programmes, for example. As a general rule, the grant law transfers unmodified requirements to them that are tailored to contracting authorities. Unlike these, private beneficiaries are largely left alone with these requirements.

1. Who is Caritas? Caritas, with around 740.000 employees and 25.000 institutions, is a central social employer in Germany, where the church employment contract guidelines (AVR) are applied. These ensure good working conditions, but lead to competitive disadvantages compared to non-tariff providers in public tenders. Caritas is experiencing awards both as a bidder and as a recipient of funding. 2.

Free movement of persons is a cornerstone of the EU and must continue to be defended and simplified today. The free movement of persons is a fundamental right that poor EU citizens also enjoy. It is not possible to speak of abuse if low-income EU workers in employment benefit from the state support provided for them.

At a time of rising labour shortages not only in Germany but across the EU, the Commission’s proposal for a Regulation of 15 November 2023 on the establishment of an EU Talent Pool is to be welcomed in principle. However, the specific proposal for a regulation is not ambitious enough to improve labour and skilled labour migration effectively and significantly. Please find attached our full opinion.
