France Tenders

The French government's centralized procurement platform, PLACE (Plateforme des marchés publics de l'Etat), serves as the primary source for information on government procurement opportunities. PLACE provides access to tenders from various government entities, including ministries, agencies, and local authorities.
GlobalTenders aggregates tenders from France's official, authorities and agencies websites, newspapers, journals and magazines. With artificial intelligence and machine learning the data is authenticated, segregated and reorganized to make thousands of France Tenders easily searchable on a single platform.

All companies and individuals who are capable of fulfilling the requirements can potentially bid on France tenders. There might be additional restrictions based on domicile, experience and qualifications depending on the project's nature and complexity.

The French Government procures a wide range of goods and services, with the top categories being:
