Zero means no notice observed in this corpus, not an absence of procurement in the country or sector.

Understanding publication-to-deadline gaps

Sep 12, 2026 – Oct 11, 2026

The date used belongs to the observed publication. A correction may follow the initial notice; application and tender submission phases are not separated. This gap is therefore not necessarily the initial response time given to businesses and cannot compare deadline rules across countries.

Median publication-to-deadline gap

30 days

30,301 of 57,977 notices included (52.3%). 27,676 notices excluded from the calculation.

Q1
27 days
Q3
34 days

Q1, median and Q3 locate 25%, 50% and 75% of the sample respectively. They describe a distribution, not statutory deadlines.

The median and mean use UTC calendar-day differences between publication and an exact, non-aggregate deadline: from 0 (same day) to 730 days. Other notices are excluded from these calculations.

How to read this barometer

Figures describe TED notices in Tenderiva’s current coverage. They measure publication activity, not procurement spend or economic market share. Today is excluded from period comparisons because it is incomplete.

The unit is a notice, not a lot or procedure. Superseded publications and unknown statuses are excluded. Language, title, country and CPV rules limit the observed scope. All eligible notice types are counted; these are not unique or new contracts.

The median and mean use UTC calendar-day differences between publication and an exact, non-aggregate deadline: from 0 (same day) to 730 days. Other notices are excluded from these calculations.

Values remain in their source currencies; no currency conversion is applied.
