Architecture tenders and design competitions in Greece

Greek public buyers procure design under Law 4412/2016 on public contracts, amended several times since. Most design work is tendered as study contracts (μελέτες), and a 2024 framework of the Ministry of Environment and Energy makes an architectural competition the rule for notable public buildings, such as cultural buildings or larger schools and hospitals, with some exceptions. TenderDesk reads ΚΗΜΔΗΣ and TED, so the national calls that never reach TED are in the feed too.

Questions

Where are architecture tenders published in Greece?
On KIMDIS (ΚΗΜΔΗΣ), the Central Electronic Registry of Public Contracts, and on ESIDIS (ΕΣΗΔΗΣ), the National System of Electronic Public Procurement, where the documents are downloaded and the bids submitted, plus TED for contracts above the EU thresholds. TenderDesk reads both and scores every notice so the real design commissions come first.
How do architectural competitions work in Greece?
Under the 2024 ministerial framework, a competition is an ideas competition, a preliminary design competition or a two-stage competition. Entries are anonymous and judged by a jury of five, seven or nine members, most of them architects, largely drawn by lot from a list kept by the Ministry of Environment and Energy. Notices and results are also posted on the websites of the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) and of SADAS-PEA, the Panhellenic Association of Architects.
Can an architecture firm from another country bid in Greece?
Yes. Public tenders in the EU are open to firms from other member states on equal terms, and many teams pair a foreign lead with a local partner. Check the tender's requirements for professional registration (the Technical Chamber of Greece, TEE) and for the language of the submission.
