This procedure allows 25 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 31 (median of 876 procedures). Much tighter than usual: the first week counts.

Foreign bidders

In Ireland · Cleaning, environment & waste, 125 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 1,784 recorded awards) — mostly from Poland, United Kingdom, France.
