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

This procedure allows 69 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

Submission language: Dutch.

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