References and certificates from your home country count fully across the EU — that is what European procurement law is for.
Too big for you alone? Consortium or reliance on capacity: a partner's references and turnover count (Art. 63 Dir. 2014/24) — cross-border too.

Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually 5 or more bids came in. Many compete here — price and references decide. (Based on 249 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 22 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 20,496 procedures). Much tighter than usual: the first week counts.

Foreign bidders

In Germany · Construction work, 687 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 244,229 recorded awards) — mostly from Austria, France, Poland.

Measured from linked award data; foreign winners bidding through a local subsidiary count as domestic — the true share is higher.
