How do I apply?
The steps for a TED notice, from its official pages:
What to do now
You have time: download the notice and its documents, and send your questions to the buyer well before the deadline.

Open the notice on TED and read its Summary; under “Languages and formats”, download the signed PDF in the official language or a translation.

Source: ted.europa.eu(opens in a new tab)Check the “Procedure overview” tab for change notices: a change notice carries the buyer's corrections and is the latest version.

When taking part directly is not certain, applying with a partner in the buyer's country helps.
The European Commission's guidance helps EU buyers tell which non-EU bidders have secured access to EU tenders; Türkiye is not among the 22 GPA parties the Commission lists.
