Tactics

When contracts were awarded in this country and sector, usually only one or two bids came in. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 173 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 75 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 · Security & defence, 61 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 253 recorded awards) — mostly from Germany, United States, 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.
