## The single market

Yes. A company established anywhere in the EU bids in Germany 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

- oeffentlichevergabe.de (https://oeffentlichevergabe.de/ui/en): The official notice data service where German procurement notices are published.
- Bund.de (https://www.bund.de/): The federal portal's tender listings.

## A right to bid is not a notice

30 sources publish public procurement in Germany and 24 of them are read by a dedicated connector. Registering on the national portal and stopping there watches one address out of 30. Every source: https://trinta.ai/government-tenders/germany

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.
