Last year, the Federal Ministry of Health awarded contracts worth around 4.6 billion euros to external companies without a tender.
This emerges from the response of the federal government to a small request from the left parliamentary group leader Dietmar Bartsch, which WELT AM SONNTAG has received in advance.
Accordingly, the house of Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) awarded 210 contracts without a tender - the vast majority of all contracts awarded by federal ministries in this way.
During the first peak of the Corona crisis in spring 2020, the otherwise applicable right to tender was suspended due to the particular emergency.
In view of the scope and the large number of awards without tendering, Bartsch demands that the Ministry of Health “clean the table” and submit an accountability report to the Bundestag in the coming week.

“Obviously, we had to procure quickly during the crisis.
But the award of 4.6 billion euros without tendering is under considerable suspicion in view of the corruption affairs, ”said the left-wing politician.
