As a general rule, tasks assigned to the university must be performed by employees of the University of Siegen; this means that entering into a contract for services may not be used to meet staffing needs or to circumvent the establishment of an employment relationship.
Contracts for services and fee-based contracts are intended to meet operational needs; as such, they are generally subject to public procurement law and are therefore awarded in accordance with public procurement regulations.
