What are the EU procurement thresholds for Belgium?
Belgium applies standard EU thresholds: €143,000 for central government supplies/services (€221,000 sub-central) and €5,538,000 for works. Below-threshold procedures follow national rules.
Can foreign companies bid on Belgian public tenders?
Yes. EU/EEA companies have equal access. Belgium’s three official languages (Dutch, French, German) mean tender documents may be in any of these, depending on the contracting region.
