What Is a European Tender (Europäische Ausschreibung, Germany)?
This is a German procurement term. A tender above the EU threshold values that must be advertised Europe-wide.
What makes a tender European?
Its estimated value reaches the EU threshold, so it must be published in TED and run under the GWB and the relevant regulation, with EU-wide deadlines.
What is different for bidders?
Longer tender deadlines, the ESPD as self-declaration, mandatory electronic submission, a standstill period before award, and access to the procurement chamber for review.
Can foreign companies bid?
Yes. That is the purpose. Documents from other member states must be accepted as equivalent.
