Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually about 3 bids came in. A normal field for this market. (Based on 10 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 438 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 31 (median of 876 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

Foreign bidders

In Ireland · R&D services, 162 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 1,188 recorded awards) — mostly from United Kingdom, France, Spain.

Submission language: English.

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