Government tenders in France: where they are published.
France publishes central government consultations on PLACE and formal announcements in BOAMP, with a dense layer of regional and local buyer platforms beside them. TRINTA maps 27 French sources, 11 of them regional. Above the EU thresholds, French notices also appear on TED, which TRINTA reads every day.
The national channels
These are the public, national-level sources: anyone can find them in one search. They carry a large share of the notices, not all of them.
And everything that publishes beside them
Beyond the national channels, 25 more sources in France publish their own notices. We count them by category without naming them: the complete source map is what sets the radar apart, and it is not published.
- 11regional, state and municipal buyers with their own portals
- 6state-owned enterprises publishing their own notices
- 4public agencies and institutions publishing directly
- 2health buyers, hospitals and medical purchasing agencies
- 1defence buyers
- 1donor-funded project units publishing their own notices
For a supplier the consequence is arithmetic: the contract that fits best may be published by a regional buyer nobody watches, while everyone's attention stays on the national portal.
What TRINTA does on this market
TRINTA reads these sources every day so the company does not have to. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, then scores every notice 0 to 100 against what the company actually sells, with the reasoning shown. Procedure documents are retrieved and attached, and a short scored list arrives each morning.
The same radar covers 170+ countries and 1,627 mapped official platforms, plus the multilateral lenders. A company selling in France rarely sells only in France.
Frequently asked questions
01Where are public tenders in France published?
Public tenders in France are published across 27 sources TRINTA has mapped. The national channels are PLACE and BOAMP. Beyond those, 25 more sources publish their own notices: 11 regional, state and municipal buyers with their own portals, 6 state-owned enterprises publishing their own notices, 4 public agencies and institutions publishing directly, 2 health buyers, hospitals and medical purchasing agencies, 1 defence buyers and 1 donor-funded project units publishing their own notices. Above the EU thresholds, notices also appear on TED, the Tenders Electronic Daily.
02Do regional and local buyers in France publish their own tenders?
Yes. 11 regional, state and municipal buyers in France run their own procurement portals in addition to PLACE. TRINTA counts them by category rather than listing them, because the full source map is part of the product. The radar reads both layers daily, so a notice from a regional buyer is scored and surfaced the same way a national one is.
03How does TRINTA monitor tenders in France?
TRINTA reads France's official sources every day, 27 mapped, 16 read by a dedicated connector. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, scores every notice 0 to 100 for fit with the reasoning shown, and attaches the procedure documents. A short scored digest arrives each morning. The same radar covers 170+ countries, so a company selling in France can watch neighbouring markets with the same profile.
