Public tenders, sector by sector.
A supplier does not ask where tenders are published in general, but where their sector is bought. Each page below joins two things the rest of this site keeps apart: the slice of the official CPV vocabulary that carries the sector, out of 9,440 codes, and the buyers who publish it outside the national portals across 170+ countries.
Which sectors get the least competition, measured in Portugal
The share of open procedures that drew one bid and no other, January to August 2026, counted from Portugal's complete open contract register rather than sampled. Direct awards are excluded, because there the buyer chooses who bids and a single bid is the design of the procedure. A high share means less competition, not more.
Portuguese figures, because Portugal publishes its whole contract register as open data and most countries publish the notice and never the result. Presenting one country's rate as a European one would be the worst kind of quiet lie. Education is absent: its divisions fall below the reporting threshold in this edition, and a rate built on too few procedures is worse than none.
Why the sector view is different from a code list
Codes describe what a buyer says it is buying; sectors describe how a market actually behaves. The same hospital publishes under medical, IT, construction and catering codes in one month, and the supplier who follows only one of them sees a fraction of the buyer. These pages exist to hold both views at once, which is also how TRINTA's radar reads: not by code, but by what a company sells, against the full text of every notice.
