How entrepreneurs can participate in Latvian public procurement
A short, verifiable guide to EIS e-konkursi: participation conditions, process, documents and first steps. This is not legal advice; always check the specific procurement rules and official sources before submitting.
Participation conditions
What should be ready before submission
Under Latvian procurement law, a supplier can be a natural or legal person, or an association of persons, offering works, supplies or services; it becomes a tenderer after submitting an offer.
Right and capacity to deliver
Check the procurement rules for experience, turnover, staff, licences, certificates, taxes, exclusion grounds, bid security or performance security if required.
Scope and evaluation understanding
Check CPV, lots, technical specifications, deadlines, evaluation criteria, price forms and mandatory attachments. If anything is unclear, ask a question in EIS before the deadline stated in the documents.
Process
From search to decision
In an open procedure, all interested suppliers may submit an offer. If the procurement is divided into lots, the supplier may choose lots unless the documents require submission for all lots.
