NEN (Národní elektronický nástroj) is the Czech Republic's national electronic procurement tool. It serves as the central platform for public procurement notices and electronic submission across Czech public sector organisations.
What NEN Covers
The platform publishes procurement from central government ministries, regional authorities, municipalities, state enterprises, and other contracting authorities. All above-threshold procurement must be published here, along with many below-threshold opportunities.
How to Use NEN
Suppliers can browse notices without registration, but bidding and full document access require creating an account. The platform supports electronic submission of bids. Search filters include CPV codes, contracting authority, region, and procedure type.
