Labour Market Services — Public Tenders
Labour market services cover a broad range of measures to integrate jobseekers into the labour market.

Challenges in finding tenders
The Federal Employment Agency uses its own procurement platforms and procedural types that differ from classical procurement portals. In addition, labour market measures are frequently awarded through accreditation procedures (e.g. AZAV provider accreditation), which require separate monitoring.
The measure designations and legal bases (SGB II, SGB III, DeuFöV) are diverse and difficult for newcomers to navigate. Requirements also vary considerably by region, since Jobcenters as municipal entities procure independently.
