Bulgarian €608,900 equipment call sets networking agenda
A Bulgarian equipment delivery call and Romanian Senate switch purchase lead the open pipeline, while Ukraine’s award field averaged two bids.
ИНФОРМАЦИОННО ОБСЛУЖВАНЕ АД has opened a €608,900 Bulgarian call for delivery of equipment in 3 separate lots. Published on 21 September, it closes on 19 October and is the largest newly open networking call in the window.
Where this market is going
Networking represented 11.49% of classified notices in the window, compared with 12.39% across the 84-day baseline beginning on 28 June: a fall of 0.9 percentage points. This is a share of classified notices, rather than a measure of underlying market volume.
Networking: share of all classified public IT tenders
Share, not volume. Weekly, only weeks classified by the same classifier generation.
Where the tenders were published
Notices of every kind by buyer country, 2 days to 2026-09-21.
How hard the competition is
Competition measures cover awards from competitive procedures only. Nine awards reported bid counts, while 1 direct award is recorded separately. Ukraine is the only country with a published average, at 2 bids across 5 measured awards. SMEs submitted 67% of bids; that is a share of bids, not a share of contracts won.
How these tenders will be decided
Stated award criterion, for the 4 new calls that declared one.
Bids are counted on contract awards from competitive procedures only. Direct awards (negotiated without a call, single-source) have one bidder by design and are counted separately. Shown only when at least 10 awards reported a bid count. Direct awards this window: 1.
What shifted this week
Type of work requested, against the usual mix
Percentage difference from the count expected at this vertical’s mix over the previous 84 days.
Whose technology is being named
Vendor references were confined to award notices. MikroTik appeared in 3 notices, while Eaton, Infor, Starlink and TP-Link each appeared in 1. These are names found in notice text, not evidence that the named vendor won the contract; no vendor reference in this dataset can be tied to an identified open call.
