How to find and win government tenders in Latvia.
Latvia conducts public procurement through EIS (eis.gov.lv), the national Electronic Procurement System that publishes contract notices and manages electronic submissions for contracting authorities across the country. This guide explains how to access EIS, find relevant opportunities, and submit compliant bids.
Four steps to your first Latvia government contract.
1
Register on EIS
Create a supplier account on eis.gov.lv. Latvian entities use eID authentication; foreign companies can register using their national company credentials. A registered account is required to submit bids and receive official communications.
2
Search for relevant tenders
Filter notices on EIS by CPV code, contracting authority, procurement type, or publication date. Above-threshold contracts are also published in TED (Tenders Electronic Daily).
3
Prepare and submit your bid
Latvia follows EU Directive 2014/24/EU. Complete the ESPD, attach required documentation, and submit electronically through EIS before the closing deadline. All procurement correspondence is handled through the platform.
4
Monitor awards and gather market intelligence
Award notices are published on EIS and TED. Review winning bids to understand price levels and technical requirements common in the Latvian public sector.

Search Latvia government tenders
EIS (Electronic Procurement System) is operated by the Procurement Monitoring Bureau and covers procurement by state institutions, local governments, and public utilities. It serves as the single mandatory publication point for notices, handles electronic tendering, and records contract awards. The system has been continuously developed to meet EU e-procurement requirements.
Latvia's public procurement is open to suppliers from EU and EEA member states on equal terms. For above-threshold contracts, suppliers from countries with applicable trade agreements may also participate. Procurement documentation is primarily in Latvian; English versions are more common for larger, internationally competitive tenders.
EIS provides search and browsing functionality for active and recent notices, but comprehensive historical research or cross-buyer analysis can be time-consuming. Sell to State indexes Latvian procurement data, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
