Tactics

When contracts were awarded in this country and sector, there was usually a single bid in the end. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 15,898 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 27 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 20,071 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 Germany · Software & IT systems, 347 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 16,515 recorded awards) — mostly from Switzerland, Italy, Austria.

Submission language: German.

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