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.

Rests on: WTO Agreement on Government Procurement: Türkiye an observer, not a party

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

Next step

You have time: download the notice and its documents, and send your questions to the buyer well before the deadline.

If taking part directly is unclear, go in with a partner or distributor in that country.

Documents to prepare

The selection criteria are set out in the procurement documents.
A bid guarantee is required; its amount and form are in the notice.
Offers are made electronically.

Read from the notice's own codes, not its text.

The full list of what to submit is in the tender documents at the source.

Market context

1 company in Türkiye fits this opportunity.

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: 2 December 2026.
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.
