Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually about 4 bids came in. A normal field for this market. (Based on 119 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 40 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 33 (median of 2,802 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

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 Romania · Office & computing machinery, 106 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 230,571 recorded awards) — mostly from Germany, France, Italy.

Submission language: Romanian.

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