Elderly Care — Public Tenders
Publicly procured elderly care covers open elderly support services, day care, supervised group programmes, meals-on-wheels and low-threshold care services. Municipalities and rural districts award these services to non-profit providers and private companies. Demographic change is steadily increasing demand for professional care services.

Challenges in finding tenders
Elderly care sits at the interface between social law and public procurement law. Many services are funded via the social-law triangular relationship rather than tendered in the classical sense. However, municipalities are increasingly procuring care services competitively, particularly meals services and day-care places.
The diversity of service types and funding routes (SGB XI, SGB XII, municipal funds) makes systematic market intelligence considerably more difficult.
