Clement What the numbers say about this buyer

  • In this sector the buyer awards roughly every 5 months (7 awards, most recently October 2025) — by that rhythm the next award was due around March 2026. The last award went to Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft für Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V. (FHG) und Ihr Fraunhofer-Institut für Angewandte Optik und Feinmechanik (IOF).n = 7
  • 17% of this buyer's awards went to companies that had already won here before (13 awards since 2018, spread over 11 companies). That is well below the sector norm (40%) — this buyer switches suppliers more often than others.n = 13 awards since 2018
  • The median procedure drew just one bid (13 procedures with a bid count); 69% ended with a single bidder. Sector: median 1 bids.n = 13
  • Not one of the 13 awards with a known winner country has gone to a foreign company so far. Sector average: 5%.n = 13

Clement
When comparable contracts were last awarded here, usually just a single offer was on the table — a solid bid has real chances.
References and certificates from your home country count fully across the EU — that is what European procurement law is for.

Foreign bidders

In Germany · Laboratory & optical equipment, 557 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 12,309 recorded awards) — mostly from France, Netherlands, United Kingdom.

Typical field: median 1 (from 8 awards).

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