How often this buyer tenders this kind of work
Tactics

This procedure allows 77 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 34 (median of 3,233 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.
Foreign bidders
In Belgium, 5,874 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 29,618 recorded awards) — mostly from France, Germany, Netherlands.
Submission language: French, Dutch.
