  2. First studies and next analyses

If you want to win public contracts, you should know what is actually being awarded and to whom. These figures are in the contract award notices, but hardly anyone reads them systematically. We analyse them and publish the results here.

Where the data comes from

The basis is exclusively official sources: the notices in the EU's Official Journal via the TED database and the publications on the federal procurement notice platform (Bekanntmachungsplattform des Bundes). Both provide their data in machine-readable form. We analyse what is there and invent nothing.

What is still missing hereThis section is under construction. We only publish analyses once the underlying data set is large enough to allow robust conclusions and once we can disclose the method. A figure without a traceable origin is of no use to you.

First studies and next analyses

Two studies are already available for free download: a market study on coffee and communal catering and a contract award analysis for coffee and tea in Germany and Austria. You can find both on the Market studies page.

Next up are an overview of which contracting authorities regularly put out tenders in which industries, a cross-industry analysis of award criteria and an overview of the requirements that matter most for passing the selection assessment, broken down by company size.

If you are interested in a particular analysis, write to us. We are guided by what is needed.
