How to find and win government tenders in Slovakia.
Slovakia conducts public procurement through EVO (Elektronické verejné obstarávanie) at evo.isvs.sk, the country's central e-procurement platform operated under the Public Procurement Office. This guide explains how to use EVO, who can bid, and how to compete for Slovak government contracts.
Four steps to your first Slovakia government contract.
1
Register on EVO
Create a supplier account on evo.isvs.sk using your company's registration number and business identification (IČO for Slovak entities, or equivalent for foreign companies). Registration gives you access to full tender documentation and enables electronic submission.
2
Find tenders matching your category
Search EVO's notice database by CPV code, contracting authority, region, or procedure type. Above EU thresholds, Slovak notices are also published on TED. Check both sources to ensure comprehensive market coverage.
3
Submit your bid electronically
Download the tender specification and annexes, prepare your technical and price offer, and submit through EVO using a qualified electronic signature before the closing deadline. Late or incomplete submissions are rejected.
4
Monitor awards and debrief outcomes
EVO and the Slovak Public Procurement Office's bulletin publish award decisions. Review winning bids to calibrate your pricing and identify contracting authorities with recurring needs in your segment.

Search Slovakia government tenders
Slovak public procurement is governed by Act No. 343/2015 on Public Procurement, which transposes EU procurement directives. EVO is the primary platform for electronic procedures. Contracting authorities include central government ministries, municipalities, universities, hospitals, and state enterprises. The Slovak market is active across IT, construction, healthcare supplies, and professional services.
Slovakia's EU membership means all EU/EEA suppliers have equal access to the procurement market. Non-EU companies can generally participate unless a specific restriction applies to the contract in question. Tender documentation is in Slovak; foreign bidders should plan for translation and ensure their qualifications are properly certified and translated into Slovak where required.
With hundreds of contracting authorities publishing notices independently, manually tracking the full Slovak tender pipeline is impractical. Sell to State indexes EVO and TED notices covering Slovakia, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
