Open Procedure EU Tenders 2026

An open procedure is the most common EU procurement method where any interested supplier can submit a tender. It offers maximum transparency and competition. All documentation is publicly available from the start and there is no pre-selection stage.

When is the open procedure used?

The open procedure is used for contracts above EU thresholds when the requirements are well-defined and can be fully specified upfront. It is the default procedure for most supplies, services, and works contracts in the EU.

How long does an open procedure tender take?

Under EU rules, the minimum time limit for receipt of tenders in an open procedure is 35 days from the date the contract notice is published on TED. This can be reduced to 15 days in cases of urgency.

Who can participate in an open procedure?

Any economic operator from any EU member state (and eligible non-EU countries) may submit a tender in an open procedure. Contracting authorities may set minimum technical and financial qualification criteria but cannot restrict who applies.

What documents are needed to bid in an open procedure?

Bidders typically need to submit a completed ESPD (European Single Procurement Document), technical proposal, financial proposal, and supporting documents proving qualifications. Requirements are detailed in the tender documentation (specifications/cahier des charges).

How is the winner selected in an open procedure?

In EU open procedures, the contract is awarded based on the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT). This considers price, quality, technical merit, and other award criteria specified in the contract notice.
