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

This procedure allows 160 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 48 (median of 2,911 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

Foreign bidders

In the Netherlands · Business services, 193 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 6,646 recorded awards) — mostly from France, Germany, United Kingdom.

Submission language: Dutch.

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