Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually 41 or more bids came in. Many compete here — price and references decide. (Based on 962 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 727 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 20,071 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

Foreign bidders

In Germany · Medical equipment & pharma, 270 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 22,355 recorded awards) — mostly from Austria, Netherlands, France.

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