How they buy

Across the construction & infrastructure notices we currently hold for Portugal, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by invitation to bid and dps. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Construction and infrastructure is one of the largest tender categories worldwide, spanning roadworks, buildings, bridges, pipelines, electrification and turnkey EPC projects. Notices here usually specify eligibility criteria such as prior similar work, annual turnover and technical staff, along with earnest-money and performance-guarantee requirements. Read the bill of quantities and completion timeline carefully, and check whether the tender is item-rate, percentage-rate or lump-sum before pricing your bid.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
