Job Placement — Public Tenders

Public job placement covers the active placement of jobseekers into the primary labour market. Jobcenters and employment agencies engage private placement providers to place the long-term unemployed, career starters, and people in rehabilitation. Procurement is carried out via tenders, activation and placement vouchers (AVGS), or framework agreements.

Challenges in finding tenders

Public job placement is organised through several procurement routes: traditional tenders, voucher procedures (AVGS), and framework agreements. Each route requires its own search strategy. The target groups also differ considerably (young people, the long-term unemployed, rehabilitation participants, refugees), which affects bid suitability.

The success-based remuneration model (placement bonuses only on successful placement) represents a commercial risk that needs to be factored into the evaluation of tenders.
