What Portugal signed under this code
Who buys under it
Portugal publishes its complete contract register as open data, so this is counted rather than estimated. January to July 2026. The count and the value cover every procedure type; the bid figures cover open procedures only, because in a direct award the buyer chooses who bids. 106 of them published a bidder list, with a median of 4.5. A mean is published from 10 open procedures up and a single-bid share from 30, so a rate on this page always rests on enough of them to mean something. All 25 divisions ranked.
What France notified under this code
Who buys under it
France publishes its essential procurement data, the DECP, with the number of offers received on every marché, a field its own schema makes mandatory. January to July 2026, Two things to read alongside the figures: the amount is the notified amount, which for a framework agreement is the ceiling rather than the spend; and the bid figures exclude marchés passed without publicity or competition, where a single offer is the design of the procedure. 66 competed marchés declared their offers here, 2.5 on average; the median is shown because an allotted marché repeats the whole consultation's offer count on each lot, which inflates a mean and leaves the median alone. Same bars as Portugal: a mean from 10 procedures, a single-offer share from 30. Buyers are named from their SIRET through the public company register. The French barometer and its method.
The market this code sits in
Laboratory and research342 codes across 2 divisions, and the buyers who publish under them.Buyers tag their notices with CPV codes, and mis-tag them often enough that a code-only alert misses real tenders. TRINTA's radar reads the notices themselves, in their own languages, and scores each one against what your company actually sells, so a procedure filed under a neighbouring code still surfaces when the text fits.
