They publish about 0.4 tenders a month, measured over 64 months of history.
Half of their 22 awarded contracts are worth €600k or less — size your bid to that range.
Most of their buying falls in software package and information systems, business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security, office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies.
