How many companies bid on security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment tenders in Germany?

In 284 sampled award notices that report bids, the median contract received 2 bids, and 44% received only one bid. Fewer bids usually means better odds for a well-prepared bid.

Can a company from another country win security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment tenders in Germany?

Yes. Tenders published on TED are open to companies from every EU and EEA country, and often to companies from countries with a procurement agreement with the EU, such as the UK, the US, Switzerland and Israel under the WTO GPA, depending on the tender's own rules. In practice 4% of sampled awards in this market went to a company from outside Germany, often through a local partner or subsidiary.

Where the numbers come from

Counts are contract notices on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily, the EU's official journal for public tenders) from buyers in Germany, classified under CPV division 35 (fire and rescue equipment, surveillance and security systems, police and defence equipment). They cover tenders above the EU thresholds and those buyers chose to publish on TED; smaller national tenders are not counted. Monthly figures are rebuilt when a month ends; open tenders every day, from the TED Search API. Always confirm details in the official notice.
