For small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) it is much easier now to find the most recent invitations for public tender. On www.vergabe24.de companies will find any invitations for public tender which are published officially in the Federal Laender and which amount to more than 250.000 each year. Only a co-operation between the official tender agencies of the Laener and the Deutsche Ausschreibungsblatt made it possible to set up this new internet site which is now the most important public tender portal in Germany.
