🇱🇹 Lithuania · Government procurement
How to find and win government tenders in Lithuania.
Lithuania's public procurement is conducted through CVP IS (cvpp.lt), the national Central Public Procurement Information System that serves as the mandatory publication and tendering platform for contracting authorities. This guide walks through how to access the system, discover relevant tenders, submit bids, and track contract outcomes.
Four steps to your first Lithuania government contract.
1
Register on CVP IS
Create a supplier account on cvpp.lt. Lithuanian entities authenticate with national eID or qualified electronic signature tools; foreign companies can register with their national company registration details.
2
Search for tenders matching your offer
Use CVP IS search filters for CPV code, contracting authority, procurement method, or estimated value. Above-threshold notices are simultaneously published on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily).
3
Submit a compliant electronic bid
Lithuania follows EU Directive 2014/24/EU and national procurement legislation. Prepare the required ESPD and supporting documents and submit through CVP IS before the deadline stated in the notice.
4
Track awards and build market knowledge
Award notices are published on CVP IS and TED for above-threshold contracts. Analyzing who wins and at what price helps you refine your bid strategy for future tenders.

Search Lithuania government tenders
CVP IS is operated by the Public Procurement Office of Lithuania and covers procurement by ministries, state agencies, municipal authorities, and public enterprises. The platform manages the full procurement lifecycle — publication, Q&A, bid submission, evaluation records, and award announcements. It is the authoritative source for Lithuanian public procurement data.
Lithuania's public procurement above EU thresholds is open to all EU and EEA suppliers. Suppliers from countries with applicable international trade agreements may also participate. Primary documentation is in Lithuanian; English-language notices are published on TED for above-threshold contracts, and some contracting authorities include English summaries in their local notices.
CVP IS allows you to search and filter active tenders, but historical research and market-wide analysis across many buyers can require substantial manual effort. Sell to State indexes Lithuanian procurement data, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
