Frequently asked questions
Can I submit an offer directly on TED?
No. TED publishes procurement notices. Follow the contracting authority’s instructions for the actual submission.
Does matching a CPV code mean I qualify?
No. CPV supports discovery, but participation depends on the tender documents and criteria.
Does Bidnuvia submit bids automatically?
