Can foreign EU companies bid on IDN tenders?

Yes. EU procurement law requires equal treatment of all economic operators from EU member states. Any company from any EU country can bid on IDN public procurement contracts. Non-discrimination on grounds of nationality is a fundamental principle of EU procurement.

The same EU-wide thresholds apply in IDN: €140,000 for central government supplies/services, €215,000 for sub-central authorities, and €5.4 million for works contracts. Contracts above these values must be published on TED and follow EU procurement procedures.

How do I register to bid on IDN procurement contracts?

To bid on IDN public contracts, companies typically need to register on the national e-procurement portal and prepare an ESPD (European Single Procurement Document). No formal pre-registration is required for open procedures — any qualified supplier can submit a tender.
