Public procurement in Croatia refers to the purchasing activities of central and local government bodies, public companies, and institutions. Croatia joined the EU in 2013 and has since aligned its procurement system with EU directives. The Elektronički oglasnik javne nabave (EOJN) is the mandatory electronic procurement portal for all Croatian public contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Procurement in Croatia
Where are Croatian government tenders published?
Croatian tenders must be published on EOJN (Elektronički oglasnik javne nabave), the national electronic procurement portal. Above-threshold contracts also appear on TED. TenderRadar monitors Croatian tenders via TED with planned EOJN integration.
What are the EU procurement thresholds for Croatia?
Croatia applies standard EU thresholds: €143,000 for central government supplies/services (€221,000 sub-central) and €5,538,000 for works. National simplified procedures apply to lower-value contracts.
Can foreign companies bid on Croatian public tenders?
Yes. EU/EEA companies have full access to Croatian tenders. Tender documents are in Croatian. Croatia’s EU membership since 2013 and eurozone membership since 2023 facilitate cross-border procurement.
How has Croatia's EU membership affected procurement?
EU membership opened Croatian procurement to cross-border competition and brought substantial EU funds. Croatia now follows EU directives fully, and its EOJN system supports OCDS open data standards.
