References and certificates from your home country count fully across the EU — that is what European procurement law is for.
The Russia sanctions declaration (Art. 5k) comes with nearly every procedure — a formality, but missing it means exclusion.

Tactics

When contracts were awarded in this country and sector, usually about 4 bids came in. A normal field for this market. (Based on 2,625 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 28 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 · Printed matter, 11 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 2,707 recorded awards).

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