Architecture tenders and design competitions in Poland

Poland is one of the busiest public building markets in Europe: cities, universities, hospitals and cultural institutions commission schools, museums, sports halls and housing, much of it with EU funds. Architecture is awarded through tenders for design services and through competitions (konkursy), many of them organised with SARP, the Polish architects' association. National notices are in the Biuletyn Zamówień Publicznych on the e-Zamówienia platform, and the larger ones also appear in TED. TenderDesk reads both, so the many smaller design commissions that never reach TED are in the feed too.

Questions

Where are architecture tenders published in Poland?
On e-Zamówienia, the national procurement platform run by the Public Procurement Office (UZP): notices below the EU thresholds in the Biuletyn Zamówień Publicznych, and above them in TED as well. Documents and submissions go through the platform named in the notice. TenderDesk brings both into one feed, scored so the real design commissions come first.
How do Polish architecture competitions work?
A konkurs is run under the public procurement law, often with SARP's involvement: open or restricted, in one or two stages, with anonymous entries judged by a jury. A realisation competition (konkurs realizacyjny) leads to the design contract being negotiated with the winner; an ideas competition (konkurs studialny) does not. Entries are in Polish.
Can an architecture firm from another country bid in Poland?
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 Izba Architektów RP, the Polish chamber of architects) and for the language of the submission.
