How to find and win government tenders in Denmark.
Denmark centralises its public procurement notices on Udbud.dk, the national platform mandated for contracting authorities subject to EU and Danish procurement rules. This guide walks through registration, tender discovery, bid submission, and award tracking.
Four steps to your first Denmark government contract.
1
Register on Udbud.dk
Create a supplier account on Udbud.dk to receive notifications and access tender documents. Danish entities typically use NemID/MitID for authentication; foreign suppliers can register with company credentials.
2
Find tenders relevant to your business
Search Udbud.dk by CPV code, contracting authority, or keyword. Above EU thresholds, notices are also published in the Official Journal of the EU (TED).
3
Submit a compliant bid
Danish procurement follows EU Directive 2014/24/EU. Prepare your European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) and upload bid documents within the deadline stated in each contract notice.
4
Track awards and learn from outcomes
Contract award notices are published on Udbud.dk and TED. Review award decisions to benchmark your pricing and understand evaluation criteria for future bids.
🇩🇰 Live data
Search Denmark government tenders
Udbud.dk is operated under Danish procurement law and covers notices from central government, regional authorities, and municipalities. Contracting authorities publish prior information notices, contract notices, and award notices in one place. Many tenders are conducted using dynamic purchasing systems or framework agreements, particularly for IT, consultancy, and professional services.
Both Danish and international suppliers can participate in Danish public procurement. There are no nationality restrictions for above-threshold contracts, and English-language tender documents are common for larger or technically specialised procurements. Smaller below-threshold contracts may be published in Danish only.
Udbud.dk lists only active and recently closed notices; historical award data can be sparse or require manual searching. Sell to State indexes Danish procurement data, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
