Where tenders are published in Romania
There is one platform for the whole country: SEAP (e-licitatie.ro). It carries the contract notices of every procedure, the simplified procedure that only appears in SEAP, concession and design contest notices, invitations under dynamic purchasing systems, and the publicity notices for direct purchases, which are often small and have deadlines of a few days. The tender documents are available free of charge on the notice page in SEAP. Polytender reads SEAP every day and links each entry to its notice there; EU notices that also appear on TED are merged into one entry.
Thresholds and legal framework
Law 98/2016 on public procurement applies, plus Law 99/2016 for water, energy, transport and postal utilities. From the EU thresholds (2026: 140,000 EUR for supplies and services of central government, 216,000 EUR for county and local authorities, 432,000 EUR for utilities, 5,404,000 EUR for works) the EU-wide procedures apply and the notice also goes to TED. Below that, buyers run the simplified procedure in SEAP from 270,120 lei (about 54,000 EUR) for supplies and services and 900,400 lei (about 180,000 EUR) for works. Under those values they may buy directly; above 200,000 lei (about 40,000 EUR) for supplies and services and 560,000 lei (about 112,000 EUR) for works they have to use the SEAP catalogue or publish an announcement, and many buyers announce much smaller purchases in SEAP too.

How public tendering works in Romania
Which rules apply in Romania depends on the contract value. Above the thresholds a formal, publicly advertised procedure is mandatory. Below them, simpler national procedures apply up to fixed value limits.
Procedures above the thresholds
- Licitație deschisă
- Advertised publicly, and every interested company may bid straight away. The standard route, with the widest competition.
- Licitație restrânsă
- Advertised publicly, but in two stages: first a request to participate, then only the shortlisted companies are invited to bid.
- Negociere competitivă
- Two stages as well, but the buyer may negotiate the submitted bids with the shortlisted companies before awarding.
- Dialog competitiv
- For complex contracts: the buyer discusses possible solutions with the shortlisted companies and only then asks for final bids.
- Parteneriat pentru inovare
- For something the market does not offer yet: development and the subsequent purchase are awarded in one procedure.
Procedures below the thresholds
- Procedură simplificată
- The below-threshold counterpart of the open procedure: publicly advertised, open to every company.
- Achiziție directă (anunț publicitar)
- A direct award announced in advance, so other companies can still make themselves known before it is made.
From notice to award in Romania
01
Find the notice
Above the thresholds buyers must advertise publicly; below them it depends on the value and the procedure. Polytender collects the notices in one place every day, so you don't have to search each portal yourself.
02
Read the tender documents
The documents set the scope, the award criteria and two dates: the deadline for questions and the deadline for bids. The question deadline usually closes well before the bid deadline.
03
Prove your suitability
Buyers check economic standing, technical capability and the absence of exclusion grounds. A self-declaration is usually enough at first; the certificates are requested only from the winner.
04
Submit the bid
Bids go in electronically through the platform, complete and on time. A late bid is excluded, however good it is.
05
Award and review
The contract goes to the most economically advantageous tender, which is not automatically the cheapest. Unsuccessful bidders are told before the contract is signed and can have the decision reviewed.
