German term or phrase: 4LP nach Lehrmeinung
Nachdem bei der Ausschreibung der ABC AG im Jahr 2000 Firma 1, im Konsortium mit anderen Dienstleistern, als der ABC LLP nicht ausgewählt wurde, haben wir sehr wohl in unserer Terminliste, dass ABC mit dem jetzigen Partner Firma 2 einen 3-Jahresvertrag abgeschlossen hat. Nach unserer Rechnung läuft dieser Vertrag Mitte 2004 aus.

Bereits heute wollen wir Ihnen sagen, dass, so sich in Ihrem Hause Überlegungen hinsichtlich einer neuerlichen Marktabfrage für diese Aufgabenstellung entwickeln, Sie bitte Firma 1 mit in Ihre Abfrageliste aufnehmen. Letztendlich ist eine solche Marktabfrage ja auch immer eine Frage nach der Kompetenz in diesem speziellen Bereich.

Allerdings müssen wir von vornherein offenlegen, dass Firma 1 eine Vorgehensweise empfiehlt, die in einem, von der heutigen Struktur der Beschäftigung Ihres Ist-Dienstleisters, wichtigen Punkt abweicht. Wir halten es für unabdingbar, dass Ihr Lead Logistics Provider auch ***ein solcher ist, und sich nicht als 4PL nach Lehrmeinung*** am Schluss präsentiert. Der LLP macht nach entsprechender Definition auch operatives Geschäft, zumindest dem Grunde nach. Die neueren wirtschafts- und logistikwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse empfehlen nachhaltig, diese beiden Positionen nicht mehr in der einmal vor einigen Jahren angedachten Weise zu trennen. Der Austausch von Erkenntnissen, Fakten und Erfahrungen mit der Operative ist für den zu optimierenden Prozess, der durch den LLP gesteuert werden soll, aus unserer Sicht seit je her unabdingbar. Ginge es lediglich um die gesellschaftsrechtliche Form zur Separierung eines LLP, tätig für die ABC AG, gibt es inzwischen relevante Unternehmenskonstruktionen.

I would appreciate any help with this, I am not at all clear what point they are trying to make here.
Any explanation of this context would be very gratefully received!
TIA, Beth

a 4PL in the accepted doctrine
Explanation:
text is written quite complicated. They try to say that there is a big difference (in quality?) between a LLP (Lead Logistics Provider) and a 4LP (Fourth Party Provider) In the marked sentence they point out that it's very important to chose a 'real' LLP and not someone who only seems to be a LLP and in truth only is a 4LP, and confirm this with the a bit despisingly used word "Lehrmeinung" -the deemed-to-be-doctrine (That's the word I found).
Context is that some years ago it seemed to be the same, LLP and 4LP (cause then the term 4LP did not exist, I presume), but now they are two different terms and meanings.
further questiones welcome
