Beauftragung und Einsatz externer Berater in Bundesministerien und nachgelagerten Dienststellen

This procedure is a parliamentary inquiry regarding the hiring and deployment of external consultants within German federal ministries and their subordinate agencies. It seeks transparency on how public funds are used to procure outside expertise and the extent to which the government relies on private consulting firms for administrative tasks. This affects the federal administration and the private consulting sector. It aims to clarify the costs, selection processes, and the necessity of using external advisors instead of internal civil service staff.
