Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, there was usually a single bid in the end. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 7 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 35 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 1,134 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

Foreign bidders

In Czechia · Transport equipment, 363 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 5,603 recorded awards) — mostly from Germany, Poland, Finland.

Submission language: Czech.

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