Many tenders ask for a reference or capacity a small company cannot meet on its own; Dutch procurement law allows you to meet those requirements together with companies you know.

MyTenders is the glue between companies that can each do part of a contract and want to bid together as one party. You invite the companies you know yourself; we approach no one on your behalf and combine what each of them can evidence into one file. We first show which contracts fit your work and what they require.

Being small is no reason to skip a large tender
A contract can be too large for one company and still fit three. Dutch procurement law lets you bid as a combination, with subcontractors or relying on another company's experience. MyTenders is the glue between the companies bidding together: with you, we make sure partners can join, and we combine everyone's evidence into one file for your combination. You first become a member of MyTenders, get your bearings and then decide whether you can bid alone or with fellow companies, competitors included. Because you can send a professional request to collaborate through MyTenders, you are more likely to be taken seriously. You invite the companies you know; we approach no one.Too large for one company, a fit for three: Dutch procurement law allows bidding together. You invite the companies you know; we combine everyone's evidence into one file.
How bidding together works →Together with companies you know, you meet requirements you cannot meet alone
Many tenders ask for a reference or capacity that a small company does not have on its own. Dutch procurement law allows you to meet those requirements together with other companies. MyTenders is the glue between the companies that bid together: you invite partners with a well-founded proposal that you send yourself; if they take part, we combine everyone's evidence into one file, so that your combination shows what it can do together.Short on a reference or capacity? With companies you know, you can meet the requirements together. You make a proposal in the app and send it yourself; if they take part, we combine everyone's evidence into one file.
Dutch procurement law offers three ways to bid together
As a combination
Two or more companies bid together. One lead partner handles contact with the contracting authority on behalf of the combination. For turnover, experience and capacity requirements, what the combination has together counts.
Read more →With subcontractors
You bid yourself and subcontract part of the work to another company. Or you take part as a subcontractor of a company that bids.
Read more →Relying on third parties
You use the experience or financial capacity of another company to meet a requirement. You then show that those resources are genuinely available for the contract.

- See which requirement you cannot meet alone
At no cost you see which open tenders fit your work. If you lack a reference or capacity for one of them, we list the requirements of that tender, showing for each whether another company may fill it in for you.At no cost you see which tenders fit your work. If something is missing, we list the requirements.

You choose whom you want on board. In the app you make the proposal straight away: the contract, the published requirements, what you can prove and which requirement you ask the other company to meet. That shows the other company you are serious before you even speak. You send it yourself. Would you rather have our team make it? Then you have it within two working days.You choose whom.

See which public contracts a company was awarded before → - We combine everyone's evidence into one file
If the other company says yes and wants to take part, it becomes a member and we combine what you and your partners supply into one clear file: per requirement who proves it, with which document, and what is still missing or expiring. Each company chooses which documents go in. For now our team does this by hand, within two working days after all documents are in. You check the file; the lead partner signs and submits. Prices are never included: you agree the division of work and the price between yourselves.If they take part, we combine everyone's evidence into one file, within two working days after all documents are in. The lead partner signs and submits.
We approach no one on your behalf. A proposal only goes out if you send it yourself. You make it yourself in the app, or our team makes it for you.
Every company that takes part is a member of MyTenders; nothing is added for the collaboration itself
Every company that takes part is a member for €49 per month excl. VAT, cancellable monthly. Taking part means: you ask us to combine your data with that of the others. Taking a look at a proposal and replying to it costs nothing.Every company that takes part is a member for €49 per month excl. VAT, cancellable monthly. Taking a look costs nothing.
We do not bid and do not become a party to your combination. We do not draw up the ESPD, declarations or a combination agreement, and we submit nothing. Working with other companies is allowed, but competition law limits agreements between competitors; read the article on bidding as a combination.We do not bid and do not draw up the ESPD or an agreement.

Do not rule out your company on size
In twelve months, €26.1 billion in public contracts was awarded in the Netherlands; SMEs win 76% of them. Company size mainly determines whether a company takes part, not whether it then wins. If a contract is too large for you alone, you bid with fellow companies or subcontractors.

Every day we read the newly published tenders and awards
From your first overview to the decision to bid, in four steps

We warn you before anything expires and match your profile against new tenders every day.
For each matching tender you see what it is, who is asking, when it closes and why it fits your work. Alongside that we give an estimate of your readiness, from 'do not bid' to 'do not miss', with the reason: what is commonly asked in this segment in size, certificates, references and declarations, what of that is in your profile and how much time is left. The requirements of a specific tender are in the tender documents; you read those afterwards, knowing where to look. That is the moment there is something to choose, and not a moment earlier.For each matching tender you see what it is, who is asking, when it closes and why it fits your work, plus our estimate of your readiness, from 'do not bid' to 'do not miss', with the reason.
