Tenders for small businesses
Do you handle tenders yourself? Schools, public offices, and hospitals may need what your business offers. openSales helps you find those opportunities and check the requirements before preparing a price.
Before you give up
"I am too small for tenders"
You will check every one of these thoughts in the documents of a specific procurement procedure.
„This order is too big for me.”
It happens that the buyer divides the order into parts. On the procedure card, each part has its own description, so you can aim for one of them.
„I still won't meet the conditions.”
Every buyer writes the participation conditions for their procedure. If you do not meet one yourself, a consortium or a third party is involved.
„I don't have all these papers.”
In the analysis, you can see what you attach to the bid and what you submit only upon request, for example, a list of services with references.
„Bid security will freeze my cash.”
The bid security requirement can be seen on the procedure card. From there, you will go to the online application for a bid guarantee at Gwarancje24.

Questions from small companies about tenders

Can a sole proprietorship participate in tenders?
Yes, if they meet the participation conditions from the documents of a specific procurement procedure. If you do not meet a condition yourself, you can consider a consortium or a third party.
How to check if a tender is on the scale of my company?
Start with the procedure card. You will see the parts of the order on it, and if the procedure was based on a plan, you will also see the estimated value from the plan.
I don't have any large projects yet. Does that disqualify me?
The buyer sets experience requirements for each procedure. Read them before deciding you are not eligible.
How to browse new announcements quickly?
Save a set of filters once: industry or CPV code, dates, buyer. The "Recently published" filter shows procedures from yesterday and today, and you add interesting ones to Observed.
