15Piepenbrock brought an action by which it sought an order prohibiting Kreis Düren from entering into that contract without carrying out a public procurement procedure, claiming that the accomplishment of those tasks in return for remuneration constitutes a commercial service that could also be furnished by private service providers. It further argued that the draft contract does not involve a type of in-house award to which public procurement law does not apply, in accordance with the judgment in Case C-107/98 Teckal [1999] ECR I-8121, since the conditions for the application of that exception are not met, while a reference to Case C-480/06 Commission v Germany [2009] ECR I-4747 is not relevant, in the absence of ‘horizontal cooperation’ between the two public entities concerned.
