Calculated from the open tenders on this page. Contract values show the typical range (10th to 90th percentile), so a few framework agreements with very high ceilings don't skew the picture. Not every notice states a value. Amounts are converted to euros at approximate rates and rounded.

Where tenders are published in Portugal
Notices appear in the Diário da República, the official gazette. Portal BASE, run by the procurement regulator IMPIC, also publishes every concluded contract as open data. Bids go through licensed e-procurement platforms. Polytender reads both every day: every new notice with its amendments and deadline extensions, and every contract reported to BASE with buyer and winner. Each tender links to the platform where its documents are.
Thresholds and legal framework
The Public Contracts Code (Código dos Contratos Públicos, Decree-Law 18/2008) applies. Since 1 October 2026 (Decree-Law 177/2026) buyers may award works below 150,000 EUR and supplies and services below 75,000 EUR directly (ajuste direto). For works below 1,000,000 EUR and supplies and services below 130,000 EUR they may invite at least three companies without a notice (consulta prévia). These contracts only become visible after award, on Portal BASE. Above that a public notice is mandatory. From the EU thresholds (2026: 140,000 EUR for central government, 216,000 EUR for other buyers, 5,404,000 EUR for works) the notice also goes to the EU Official Journal.
