How to find and win government tenders in Poland.
Poland publishes government tenders through two channels: BZP (Biuletyn Zamówień Publicznych) at bzp.uzp.gov.pl for domestic notices, and TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) for EU-threshold contracts. This guide explains how both work and how to win Polish public contracts.
Four steps to your first Poland government contract.
1
Identify the right notice channel for your target contracts
Below EU thresholds, Polish contracting authorities publish in BZP. Above thresholds — typically larger works, supplies, or services — notices also appear on TED (ted.europa.eu). Register on the relevant platform before engaging with any tender.
2
Search and filter active Polish tenders
Use BZP's search to filter by CPV code, region (voivodeship), contracting authority, and procedure type. TED offers similar filtering for higher-value Polish contracts. Download tender documents (SIWZ or SWZ under current law) promptly as deadlines can be short.
3
Submit a compliant bid electronically
Since 2021, Polish procurement law requires electronic submission for most procedures. Prepare your technical and financial offers according to the tender specification, sign documents electronically, and submit via the contracting authority's designated e-platform before the deadline.
4
Track award notices and appeal windows
Award decisions are published on BZP and TED. Poland's appeal procedure (odwołanie) to the National Appeals Chamber (KIO) must be filed within defined time limits — track published decisions promptly if you intend to challenge an outcome.

Search Poland government tenders
Poland operates one of the largest public procurement markets in Central and Eastern Europe. The legal framework is the Public Procurement Law (Prawo zamówień publicznych), aligned with EU Directives 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU. BZP handles the notification function for sub-threshold contracts, while above-threshold awards go to TED. Contracting authorities span central government ministries, voivodeship and local authorities, universities, hospitals, and state-owned enterprises.
EU membership means the Polish procurement market is fully open to suppliers from all EU/EEA member states on equal terms with domestic companies. Third-country suppliers are generally permitted unless a specific sectoral restriction applies. Tender documents are in Polish; non-Polish bidders should budget for certified translation of key specification sections.
The volume of active tenders across BZP and TED makes manual monitoring across hundreds of categories impractical. Sell to State indexes Polish procurement notices from both portals, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
Frequently asked questions
What are BZP and TED in the context of Polish procurement?
BZP (Biuletyn Zamówień Publicznych) is Poland's national public procurement bulletin where contracting authorities publish sub-threshold notices. TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the EU's supplement to the Official Journal, where Polish authorities publish contracts above EU financial thresholds.
Who can bid on Polish government tenders?
Any EU/EEA company can bid on equal terms with Polish suppliers. Companies from outside the EU are also generally permitted to participate, subject to the specific qualification and eligibility requirements set out in each tender notice.
Is access to BZP free?
Yes, browsing and downloading notices from BZP is free and publicly accessible. TED is also free to use. Individual contracting authorities may host their own e-submission platforms with separate registration requirements.
How do I get alerts for Polish tenders in Sell to State?
Search in Sell to State filtered to Poland and your product or service category, then save the search. Turn on the alert for the saved tender search: once a day, we email you the number of new open and awarded tenders that match it.
What Poland procurement data does Sell to State cover?
