How to find and win government tenders in Greece.
Greece runs its public procurement through ESIDIS (the National Electronic Public Procurement System) at eprocurement.gov.gr, where all contracting authorities must publish notices and conduct electronic procurement procedures. This guide explains how the system works, who can participate, and how to compete for Greek public contracts.
Four steps to your first Greece government contract.
1
Register on ESIDIS
Suppliers register at eprocurement.gov.gr. Greek legal entities authenticate via Taxisnet credentials; foreign companies submit registration documents and obtain system access. A qualified electronic signature is required to submit bids.
2
Search for open procedures
ESIDIS lists all public procurement notices — open competitions, restricted procedures, and negotiated procedures — searchable by CPV code, contracting authority, contract type, and deadline.
3
Prepare and submit your electronic bid
Download the full tender documentation (TMDE/invitation to tender), prepare your technical and financial offer, and upload via ESIDIS by the stated deadline. Ensure your ESPD (European Single Procurement Document) is current and complete.
4
Track award notices through the platform
ESIDIS publishes award decisions after evaluation. Reviewing outcomes by category and authority gives market intelligence on active buyers and competitive pricing in Greece.

ESIDIS is Greece's mandatory e-procurement platform, operating under Law 4412/2016 (Greece's implementation of EU Directives 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU). All contracting authorities — central government ministries, municipalities, public hospitals, universities, and state-owned enterprises — are required to publish notices and conduct competitive procedures through the system. The Hellenic Single Public Procurement Authority (EAADHSY) supervises compliance.
EU and EEA suppliers can participate in Greek tenders on equal terms with domestic companies. Non-EU companies may bid on contracts covered by the WTO Government Procurement Agreement. Foreign suppliers must demonstrate compliance with ESPD requirements and provide translated documentation where required by the tender notice. Greek procurement often requires references proving prior relevant experience.
ESIDIS generates substantial procurement activity across infrastructure, health, technology, and professional services. Sell to State indexes ESIDIS procurement data, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
