Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually about 3 bids came in. A normal field for this market. (Based on 3 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 38 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 48 (median of 2,911 procedures). Much tighter than usual: the first week counts.

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 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.

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