Deadline — Friday 6 November at 12:00
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 29 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)
This procedure allows 15 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 20,071 procedures). Much tighter than usual: the first week counts.
Foreign bidders
In Germany · Radio, TV & communications, 50 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 6,378 recorded awards) — mostly from Austria, Netherlands, Finland.
Submission language: German, English.
Measured from linked award data; foreign winners bidding through a local subsidiary count as domestic — the true share is higher.
