Can foreign companies bid on government tenders in Italy?

Yes. Italy is a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement, so suppliers from any other GPA member can bid on covered public tenders on equal terms with domestic firms above the applicable value threshold (around €140,000 for central-government supplies and services).

Where are public tenders in Italy published?

Most public-sector notices in Italy are published on TED (EU) and related portals. qlows ingests these sources continuously so you can search them in one place instead of monitoring each portal separately.

Why you can bid here

How public procurement works in Italy

Italy is a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). Above a published value threshold (around €140,000 for central-government supplies and services), public buyers must open their tenders to suppliers from every other GPA party on equal terms — a foreign supplier competes on the same footing as a domestic one, with no discrimination on origin.

Notices are published on TED (EU) and other portals. The hard part isn’t eligibility — it’s finding the handful of notices worth your time among the thousands published every week, often across several portals and languages. That’s what qlows is built to solve: it reads the full corpus, classifies it by CPV/NAICS, and surfaces the tenders that fit your catalog.
