Austria’s procurement is spread across federal, state (Länder), and municipal buyers, but the discovery layer is more concentrated than Germany’s. Most notices are reachable through the ANKÖ Vergabeportal and auftrag.at, with above-threshold notices published to TED.
ANKÖ (Auftragnehmerkataster Österreich).A supplier association that runs Austria’s central procurement portal and a supplier register many public buyers check. Its Vergabeportal aggregates notices from federal, state, and municipal authorities into one search.
auftrag.at. A widely used platform for publishing and managing Austrian tenders, covering the full contracting lifecycle from notice to award.
Austrian companies typically reach these through the USP (Unternehmensserviceportal), the national business service portal — a single login that also handles many other government interactions.
Registration is free (ANKÖ offers paid tiers for enhanced supplier- register features). You download the Ausschreibungsunterlagen, respond to the Eignungs- and Zuschlagskriterien, and submit electronically. The ESPD/EEE applies as across the EU. Documentation and bids are in German — turning them into a structured English plan is where an AI-native workflow pays off; the mechanics closely mirror Germany’s.
