## The single market

Yes. A company established anywhere in the EU bids in Austria on the same terms as a company established there, and a buyer that treats it differently is breaking the rule it is bound by. Above the EU thresholds the procurement directives apply directly. Below them the Treaty principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination still bind the buyer for any contract a firm in another member state would plausibly want.

Instrument: EU membership, procurement directives 2014/24 and 2014/25.

## Where you would register

- USP eProcurement (https://ausschreibungen.usp.gv.at/): The federal business service portal's procurement notices.
- ausschreibung.at (https://www.ausschreibung.at/): An open notice database built on the official BVergG core data.
- BBG Vergabeportal (https://bbg.vergabeportal.at/): The federal central purchasing body's tender portal.

## A right to bid is not a notice

31 sources publish public procurement in Austria and 28 of them are read by a dedicated connector. Registering on the national portal and stopping there watches one address out of 31. Every source: https://trinta.ai/government-tenders/austria

This is not legal advice. Trade agreements grant what their annexes list, and a particular procedure's documents can require local registration, an agent or local content that no agreement overrides.
