Where to bid
A company deciding which border to cross usually knows what it sells and nothing about how contested that is abroad. Pick the division you sell under and this ranks 26 European countries by how often a tender there drew a single bid, then says where the notices are published once you get there.

Pick what you sell
Tell us the markets, we send the map
Name the countries you are weighing up. You get back where public tenders are published in each one, how much of that we read every day, and what an EU company needs before it may bid there. An email, not a call.
Frequently asked questions
01Which European country should we sell into?
It depends on what you sell, and the answer is countable rather than a matter of opinion. Across 41 CPV divisions and 26 countries, this site counts how often a tender drew exactly one bid, January to July 2026, on the submission count every EU contract award notice must carry. A high share means a market where a prepared bid meets less company. Pick your division and the countries are ranked; each one that has a page also shows how many portals publish there and how many of them a connector reads.
02Does a high single-bid share mean a market is easy to enter?
No, and treating it that way would be the wrong reading. It means the incumbent supply is thin, which is worth knowing and is not the same as being eligible, registered, or able to deliver locally. It also measures only what passes the EU thresholds and appears in the Official Journal, so a national market's smaller contracts are not in it. What it removes is guessing about competition; everything else about entering a market still applies.
How this is counted
Every share here is the count of lots that received exactly one tender, from eForms BT-759 on the contract award notices published in the EU Official Journal, January to July 2026. The unit is the lot, not the notice. A country appears in a sector only above 30 lots in that division, and a sector only appears at all when at least 3 countries clear that bar, because a ranking of two is not a ranking. A notice counts towards a division only when all of its CPV codes sit in that division. The source counts beside 21 of the 26 countries come from the platform registry this site publishes; the others have competition data here and no country page yet, and say so rather than showing a number that is not there. TED carries procurement above the EU thresholds, so this is the large end of every market and not the whole of it. Harvested 2026-09-08.
