Architecture tenders and design competitions in Lithuania

Lithuanian public buyers procure under the Law on Public Procurement (Viešųjų pirkimų įstatymas), rewritten in 2017 to apply the EU directives. The Law on Architecture provides for architectural competitions for significant public buildings and urban spaces, and their conditions must be approved by the Lithuanian Chamber of Architects. TenderDesk reads CVP IS and TED, so the national calls that never reach TED are in the feed too.

Questions

Where are architecture tenders published in Lithuania?
On CVP IS, the Central Public Procurement Information System run by the Public Procurement Office (VPT), which buyers must use for their procedures above and below the EU thresholds and where the documents are downloaded and the bids submitted, and in TED for contracts above the EU thresholds. TenderDesk reads both and scores every notice so the real design commissions come first.
Who runs architectural competitions in Lithuania?
The Lithuanian Chamber of Architects (Lietuvos architektų rūmai) sets the regulations for architectural competitions and approves each competition's conditions before it is announced; the jury has at least five members, at least half of them certified architects or architecture academics. The Architects Association of Lithuania (LAS) runs competitions for clients under its own rules and appoints most of the jury. Winning does not guarantee the commission: if negotiations fail, the buyer turns to the next-placed entry.
Can an architecture firm from another country bid in Lithuania?
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 Lithuanian Chamber of Architects, Lietuvos architektų rūmai) and for the language of the submission.
