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 12 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)
This procedure allows 7 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 20,496 procedures). Much tighter than usual: the first week counts.
The deadline falls on a Monday — your last full working day is the Friday before. Have evidence and guarantees together by Thursday.
Foreign bidders
In Germany · Office & computing machinery, 100 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 13,262 recorded awards) — mostly from Austria, France, Estonia.
Submission language: German.
Measured from linked award data; foreign winners bidding through a local subsidiary count as domestic — the true share is higher.
