The present notice is for the conclusion of pharmaceutical discount contracts in accordance with §§ 130a para. 8 and 130c para. 1 SGB V. This is not a public procurement procedure as defined by Directive 2014/24/EU or by §§ 97 et seq. GWB. Any pharmaceutical company as defined in § 4 para. 18 AMG can become a contracting party. According to the case law of the ECJ, such authorisation procedures do not necessarily fall under public procurement law, as there is no competition due to the lack of a selection decision. The notice serves as an invitation to conclude discount contracts with conditions that are equally applicable to all contracting parties and are not mandatory, including the determination of the discount. The contract is concluded by signing the contract documents and submitting the required declarations, which can be requested from the designated contact point.
