Tactics

When contracts were awarded in this country and sector, usually about 3 bids came in. A normal field for this market. (Based on 109 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 74 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 34 (median of 3,233 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

Foreign bidders

In Belgium, 5,874 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 29,618 recorded awards) — mostly from France, Germany, Netherlands.
