According to § 291a SGB V, gematik has the legal mandate for the introduction and further development of the telematics infrastructure ("TI") in the healthcare sector. For this, gematik regularly requires the support of external staff. The external forces should be made available by way of temporary employment in accordance with the Temporary Employment Act (AÜG). For the areas mentioned in the terms of reference, gematik intends to conclude a framework contract for temporary employment with as many as possible, at least all interested contractors (lenders) until any exclusive contracts come into force following a public tender. The framework agreement as part of the approval process will enter into force for the first time on 18.11.2019 and will end subject to the contractual extension option on 31.10.2021. Irrespective of this, it automatically ends with the entry into force of any exclusive contract resulting from a formal award procedure.

The subject of the procurement requirements are the following categories of services according to the terms of reference underlying this procedure:

- User Interface Developer / Mockup Designer,

- company architect,

- IT service manager,

Application Specialist Data Architect,

- Security Analyst CERT / in,

- Application Security Engineer,

- IT administrator.

The prospective buyer must make a commitment to at least one (1) of the above performance categories. In addition, the determination of several or all of the above-mentioned performance categories is fully possible.

Note: Publication is made here using the open procedure form. However, this is NOT such an open procedure - the Notice Form had to be used for technical reasons, as there is no form suitable for approval procedures. On the contrary, gematik assumes that this authorization procedure does not fall within the scope of the "antitrust law" due to the lack of a selection decision and thus the non-discriminatory access by all companies providing the contract to the framework contract.

In order to cope with the diversity of potential contractors within the framework of the authorization model, any suitable undertaking will be able to join the framework contract at any time and under the same conditions during the contract period. The contract documents required for this purpose are listed under I.3. mentioned link for download. Prerequisites for the admission, or later joining, of the framework contract, which enters into force on 18.11.2019, is the complete and timely submission of the following documents / declarations / attachments (available for download under the link under I.3.)
