Frequently asked questions
01Which European country has the least competition for agricultural machinery?
Croatia, where 68.4% of the 38 lots awarded under CPV 16 drew exactly one tender, January to July 2026. At the other end, France at 31.4% of 35 lots. Across the 5 countries measured in this division the share is 43.2%, against 35.9% for all EU procurement above the thresholds. Counted on eForms BT-759, the submission count every contract award notice must carry, with the lot as the unit.
02Where are agricultural machinery tenders published in Europe?
Above the EU thresholds, in the Official Journal, which is where these figures are counted. Below them, in each country's own portals, and there is no single place. This site's registry maps 8 sources in Croatia, 5 sources in Poland, 13 sources in Czechia, 30 sources in Germany, 27 sources in France. Each country's page lists its national channels and counts the rest by category.
What this does and does not say
A high share means the incumbent supply in that market is thin, which is worth knowing and is not the same as the market being easy to enter. It says nothing about whether a foreign company may bid, what registration it needs, or whether it can deliver locally. That first question has its own page per country, at how to bid abroad. What it removes is the guessing about competition. The count is eForms BT-759 on the contract award notices in the EU Official Journal, January to July 2026, with the lot as the unit and not the notice. A country appears above 30 lots in this division, and a notice counts towards the division only when all of its CPV codes sit in it. The source counts come from this site's platform registry; countries without a page carry their competition row and say so. TED holds procurement above the EU thresholds, so a national market's smaller contracts are not here, and those are usually more contested. Harvested 2026-09-08.
