Why sub-threshold matters

EU procurement rules require contracts above certain thresholds to be published on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily). But the vast majority of public contracts — often 70-80% by volume — fall below these thresholds and are published only on national portals.

These sub-threshold contracts are typically less competitive, have simpler procedures, and are ideal for SMEs looking to build a public-sector track record. EU Fund Portal aggregates them from national portals so you can find them in one place.

  • Less competition than TED-published above-threshold tenders
  • Simpler procedures — often direct award or simplified bidding
  • Ideal for building public-sector references before scaling up
  • Cross-border opportunities most competitors never see

Procurement FAQs

What is a sub-threshold tender?

EU procurement directives set financial thresholds above which contracts must be advertised EU-wide on TED. Below these thresholds, contracts are published only on national portals. The thresholds vary by sector but are typically around EUR 140,000 for services and EUR 5.4 million for works.

Can foreign companies bid on national tenders?

Yes. EU single market rules mean any EU/EEA company can bid on public contracts in another member state, even below-threshold ones. The main barriers are language and local registration requirements, which vary by country.

How does EU Fund Portal help with tenders?

We scrape national procurement portals daily, normalise the data (title, deadline, value, buyer), and surface it alongside grants in one interface. You can filter by category, set up daily alerts for new tenders matching your criteria, and export to CSV.
