EU public procurement above certain thresholds must be published on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the official journal of EU procurement. Tenders from France are published here alongside opportunities from all other EU member states.
EU procurement follows directives (2014/24/EU for public contracts, 2014/25/EU for utilities) that ensure fair competition across borders. Any business established in an EU/EEA member state can bid on tenders in France without discrimination.
Tenders are classified using CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes, which function similarly to NAICS codes in the US. Identifying your relevant CPV codes is essential for finding matching opportunities in France.
Procurement procedures in France include open procedures (anyone can bid), restricted procedures (pre-qualification required), competitive dialogue, and innovation partnerships. The procedure type is stated in the contract notice and determines how to submit your bid.
Language requirements vary — while TED notices include summaries in all EU languages, full tender documents from France are typically published in the national language. Translation of key documents may be required for international bidders.
Describe your business once. We match you to relevant EU procurement opportunities daily. Zero effort.
