Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, there was usually a single bid in the end. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 3 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 26 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 20,071 procedures). Much tighter than usual: the first week counts.

Foreign bidders

In Germany · Repair & maintenance, 74 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 12,861 recorded awards) — mostly from Austria, Netherlands, Poland.

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