Following the creation of the Access2markets instrument (see EUROPE 12580/30), the European Commission launched, on Tuesday 21 September, Access2procurement. This online platform should help companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to find international public procurements that are open to European companies.
For the moment, only information on Canada is available, but the Commission indicates that more countries will be added later.
European operators can access information according to the procuring entity, the subject matter and the estimated value of the procurement sought.
By answering a series of questions on the portal, businesses can also find out if they are eligible for the public procurement tender listed.
