This procedure allows 16 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 30 (median of 773 procedures). Much tighter than usual: the first week counts.

Foreign bidders

In Slovakia · Repair & maintenance, 40 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 427 recorded awards) — mostly from Czechia, France, Germany.

Submission language: Slovak.

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