How to find and win government tenders in Romania.
Romania's government tenders are published and managed through SEAP (Sistemul Electronic de Achiziții Publice) at e-licitatie.ro, the country's national e-procurement platform operated by the Agency for Digital Agenda. This guide explains how to register, find opportunities, and submit compliant bids for Romanian public contracts.
Four steps to your first Romania government contract.
1
Register on SEAP at e-licitatie.ro
Create a supplier account using your company's CUI (unique registration code for Romanian entities) or the equivalent foreign business identification. Registration is required to download documentation and submit bids electronically.
2
Find tenders by category and region
Use SEAP's search filters to browse active procurement notices by CPV code, contracting authority, county (judet), or procedure type. Above EU thresholds, Romanian notices also appear on TED — monitor both to capture all relevant opportunities.
3
Submit your bid electronically before the deadline
Download the award documentation (Documentatia de Atribuire), prepare your technical and financial offers, and upload through SEAP using a qualified electronic signature. Submissions after the deadline are automatically excluded.
4
Track award notices and appeal outcomes
SEAP publishes contract award notices and the results of any challenges. Reviewing awards helps you calibrate pricing and understand which buyers are most active in your category.

Search Romania government tenders
Romanian public procurement is governed by Law 98/2016 (for classic contracting authorities) and Law 99/2016 (for utilities), both implementing EU procurement directives. SEAP/e-licitatie.ro is the mandatory platform for all stages of covered procurement, from notice publication to contract award. Major buying bodies include central ministries, county councils, municipalities, hospitals, and state enterprises. Construction, IT, healthcare, and EU co-funded infrastructure projects drive much of the tender volume.
Romania's EU membership ensures equal market access for all EU/EEA suppliers. Non-EU companies can participate unless a specific restriction applies. Tender documentation is in Romanian; foreign bidders should plan for translation of technical specifications and ensure their qualification documents are legalized or apostilled as required by the specification.
SEAP publishes thousands of active notices at any given time across Romania's eight development regions. Tracking all relevant opportunities manually is highly inefficient. Sell to State indexes Romanian procurement notices from SEAP and TED, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
