Calls for Tenders : Prior Information Notices

Please note that this page only includes a selection of prior information notices related to Directorate General (DG) for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs's activities.

The full list of prior information notices is published daily in 20 EU official languages on the TED database.

The TED database, maintained by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, provides interested users with access to the latest edition of the Official Journal and an archive of all documents that have appeared in the Supplement to the Official Journal over the past five years. It also contains documents whose deadline for receipt of tenders or requests to participate has expired. A hierarchically structured index gives an overview of the documents from the latest edition and enables users to view documents and carry out a search. TED "Search for tenders" function is a comprehensive, user-friendly tool that helps users carry out a targeted search for specific documents. Individual search criteria can be set in various search masks (normal, extended or expert search) and saved as a search profile. The entry of search criteria is supported by catalogues of terms from which selections can be made. Search terms can be combined.
