## A trade agreement with the EU

Partly, and the agreement says how far. EU and Andean Community trade agreement, government procurement title gives EU suppliers access to the procurement it lists. As with the WTO agreement, the operative part is the annexes: which buyers, which sectors, which thresholds. It is narrower than the single market, and reading it before quoting is the difference between a bid and a wasted week.

Instrument: EU and Andean Community trade agreement, government procurement title.

## Where you would register

- SECOP II (https://www.colombiacompra.gov.co): Colombia's national electronic procurement system, run by Colombia Compra Eficiente.

## A right to bid is not a notice

10 sources publish public procurement in Colombia and 6 of them are read by a dedicated connector. Registering on the national portal and stopping there watches one address out of 10. Every source: https://trinta.ai/government-tenders/colombia

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.
