Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually about 4 bids came in. A normal field for this market. (Based on 419 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 35 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 1,452 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

Foreign bidders

In Finland · Architecture & engineering, 33 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 5,205 recorded awards) — mostly from Sweden, Poland, Italy.

Submission language: Finnish.

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