Austria, Germany, and Finland Are Now Live

In the last update we said Austria was next, and that Germany would be “its own kind of adventure.” Both are live now — and we added Finland while we were at it.

Austria: USP

USP (Unternehmensserviceportal) is Austria’s central business service portal. Federal and state procurement notices, one API. Around 30 tenders per day, German titles translated to English before matching.

Germany: DOE

The adventure had a shortcut. Germany’s DOE portal (Datenservice Öffentliche Einkäufe) publishes a daily CSV export covering federal and state tenders — no need to scrape sixteen separate platforms.

Around 85 open tender calls per day once we filter Germany’s flood of notices down to live competitions. Germany’s public sector is enormous, and now every open call in it gets matched against your profile automatically.

Finland: Hilma

Hilma is Finland’s national procurement service. We weren’t planning to go Nordic this early, but the API was solid and Finland is a good market — strong public sector, high digital maturity, less crowded than the bigger economies.

Around 25–30 tenders per day, in Finnish and Swedish, translated to English.

Where we stand

Seven sources. All running twice a day. Everything normalized, translated, deduplicated, and scored against your company profile. The dashboard looks the same — you just see more tenders.

We’ll keep connecting portals. But seven feels like a good moment to stop and say: this is starting to work.

BidScout monitors TED (27 EU member states) plus six national portals: EKR (Hungary), VVZ (Czechia), BZP (Poland), USP (Austria), DOE (Germany), and Hilma (Finland). The free plan matches you against every EU-wide (TED) tender; the national portals are part of Pro. Try it free — takes two minutes.
