How to Bid for Tenders in Estonia

Estonia follows a unified procurement procedure established under the European union public procurement rules. Tenders in Estonia are generally posted on the tender’s electronic daily portal of the European union for contracts above EU thresholds. Apart from the TED platform, Estonia also has its own procurement platform - Rijihanked to publish its tenders. Tenders in Estonia can also arrive from EU supply, funded authorities and trade organizations such as GIZ.de thus giving a range of sources for companies to monitor while bidding for contracts in Estonia. Tender Impulse covers the full spectrum of public procurement information from Estonia and gives best in class procurement digest. To bid for tenders in Estonia, companies need to bid in Estonian language which can become a barrier. At Tender Impulse, we do complete translation of all bid documents from Estonian to English. However, bids are still required to be submitted in the local language. Tender Impulse provides complete documentation and assistance required for companies to bid for tenders in Estonia.

Estonia also offers a very transparent procurement system whereby contracts above EU threshold are generally posted on the TED service by the European union. Estonia offers a Procurement Register (Riigihanked Procurement Register) to publish and award bid information. Almost all public contracts in Estonia are done via the electronic system of Riigihanked. Being in the European union, Estonia too uses the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) nomenclature to classify RFPs. Therefore, as a first step, companies need to identify their most relevant codes matching their business interest and search for RFPs using this code. Bidders need to register via the Riigihanked platform as well in order to respond to RFP’s. Creating a contractor profile is free and easy using the electronic platform.
