How to find public tenders in Poland (BZP and e-Zamówienia)

Poland is the highest-volume national source we run: around 178 new tenders a day flow through the BZP, and nearly all of them sit below the EU thresholds — which means nearly all of them are invisible on TED. If you can serve Polish buyers, this single stream is larger than the rest of Central Europe's national portals combined.

Where Polish tenders are published

The split is clean. Above the EU thresholds, Polish tenders are published on TED. Below them, they go to the BZP (Biuletyn Zamówień Publicznych) — the national procurement bulletin operated by the Public Procurement Office (UZP) on the e-Zamówienia platform at ezamowienia.gov.pl. One country, two buckets, no overlap: a Polish tender is on TED or in the BZP, not both.

The floor moved this year: from 1 January 2026, Poland's procurement law applies from PLN 170,000 net (raised from 130,000, per the July 2025 amendment). Purchases under that line don't run through the BZP at all — so the bulletin now starts slightly higher up the value scale than it used to.

Using e-Zamówienia directly

The platform's public search is open — no account needed to browse notices, filter by CPV, region, or deadline, and read the full notice. Everything is Polish-only. Bidding itself runs through the platform electronically, for which you'll need an account and, in practice, a qualified electronic signature.

An operational note from our side: e-Zamówienia exposes a public read interface (the same data the website shows, machine-readable), and it's one of the more reliable systems we integrate — a daily 178-notice stream arrives with boring regularity. The volume, not the plumbing, is the challenge.

What BidScout covers

We ingest the BZP stream twice a day, machine-translate Polish titles to English, and match everything against your company profile — so a Silesian hospital's IT tender can surface for you without you reading Polish or knowing to look for it. Polish coverage is part of BidScout Pro (€49/month); the free plan's TED layer carries the above-threshold slice.

The practical route

At 178 a day, "check the portal in the morning" stops working almost immediately — that's a full-time reading job in a language most non-Polish suppliers don't have. Realistic options: narrow hard by CPV and region on e-Zamówienia's search and accept the misses, or let software pre-filter the stream by meaning. We built the second option; either way, decide deliberately, because defaulting to TED-only means writing off the largest below-threshold market in the region.
