Can a company from Türkiye take part?

The buyer decides on Turkish bids

Türkiye has no procurement agreement with this market: a Turkish firm has no right of access, but the buyer may accept its bid.
A utility's supply contract: a bid whose goods are more than half from outside the EU may be rejected.

Rests on: Directive 2014/24/EU, Art. 25; Court of Justice, C-652/22 Kolin (22 October 2024); Directive 2014/25/EU, Art. 85

Guidance from the official rules, not legal advice: the tender documents decide.

How do I apply?

The steps for a TED notice, from its official pages:

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)
Read the whole notice and follow it: a competition notice tells tenderers what the procedure is and how it will be carried out. 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. Source: ted.europa.eu(opens in a new tab)
Sign in to TED and create an alert on the notice to get an email whenever a related notice is published. Source: ted.europa.eu(opens in a new tab)
Submit your offer before the deadline: 30 April 2033.
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.

The steps were read from the official pages on 6 November 2026; the notice and its documents always set the rules that apply.
