# Where to bid: Europe's least contested markets > 41 CPV sectors and 26 European countries ranked by how often a tender there draws a single bid, joined to where each country publishes its notices. For a company choosing which border to cross. Source: https://trinta.ai/where-to-bid · Format: Markdown mirror of that page · Language: en A company deciding which border to cross knows what it sells and usually nothing about how contested that is abroad. Across 41 CPV divisions and 26 European countries, 644 sector and country pairs are counted here on eForms BT-759, the submission count every EU contract award notice must carry, January to July 2026. The unit is the lot. A country appears in a sector only above 30 lots in that division, and a sector only when at least 3 countries clear that bar. A high share means the incumbent supply is thin, which is not the same as the market being easy to enter: it says nothing about eligibility, registration or local delivery. TED carries procurement above the EU thresholds, so this is the large end of each market.
