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

This procedure allows 40 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 20,496 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

The deadline falls on a Monday — your last full working day is the Friday before. Have evidence and guarantees together by Thursday.

Foreign bidders

In Germany · Business services, 349 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 29,674 recorded awards) — mostly from Belgium, Italy, United Kingdom.

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