Direct answers · How competitive public tenders actually are

Which sectors of public procurement have the least competition?

Software, and it repeats across countries. In Portugal, CPV division 48, software package and information systems, draws a single bid in 37.5% of open procedures against 2.9% for division 77; in France, CPV division 48 sits at 64.9% against 12.1% for division 71, architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. Two independent national registers, same method, same top of the table. A supplier of software to the public sector is competing against far fewer people than the word procurement implies.
