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 7 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 14 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 1,471 procedures). Much tighter than usual: the first week counts.

Foreign bidders

In Finland · Furniture & furnishings, 9 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 1,412 recorded awards).

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