Institutions governed by Public law and the government spend over tens of millions of euros annually on tendered goods & services ranging from software packages to the building of residential tower blocks. They are legally obliged to procure the work, delivery or the service in a transparent, objective and non-discriminatory manner. In this way, all interested parties have an equal chance to gaining the contract.
