Tactics
When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually only one or two bids came in. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 3 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)
This procedure allows 34 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 30 (median of 773 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.
Foreign bidders
In Slovakia, 803 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 16,361 recorded awards) — mostly from Czechia, Germany, Poland.
