How do I register to bid on Turkey procurement contracts?
To bid on Turkey 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.
