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 99 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 93 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: Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Estonian, Finnish, French, Irish, Croatian, Hungarian, Italian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Maltese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish.

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