Latvia
Latvia's government procurement is managed through the EIS (Elektronisko iepirkumu sistēma) — the Electronic Information System operated by the Procurement Monitoring Bureau (IUB).
Data source
Otnox connects to the EIS portal and retrieves new and updated tenders every 1-2 hours, making it one of the fastest-refreshing markets on the platform.
Procurement framework
Latvia follows EU procurement directives, which means:
- Above-threshold tenders follow full EU procedures and are published on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) as well as EIS
- Below-threshold tenders follow simplified national procedures and are published only on EIS
- CPV codes are used as the standard classification
- Procurement language is primarily Latvian, with some EU-level tenders also available in English
Typical tender volume
Latvia publishes approximately 800-1,200 new tenders per month across all sectors, with higher volumes in Q1 and Q3 as government budgets are allocated.
Key sectors
Top CPV categories in Latvian procurement:
- Construction and infrastructure
- IT systems and services
- Healthcare and medical supplies
- Transportation and logistics
- Educational services and supplies
Many Latvian tenders, especially from municipal buyers, are available only in Latvian. If you are a foreign bidder, consider partnering with a local firm or using Otnox's TenderScan to get AI-translated summaries of requirements before investing in a full translation.
