Tactics

When contracts were awarded in this country and sector, usually only one or two bids came in. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 13,310 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 35 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 26 (median of 7,730 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

Foreign bidders

In Spain · Repair & maintenance, 245 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 44,349 recorded awards) — mostly from Germany, Italy, Portugal.

Submission language: Spanish.

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