How Public Procurement Works in Italy

Public buyers in Italy advertise the bulk of their contracts through ANAC and the MEPA marketplace (Consip). Domestic tendering is governed by the Codice dei Contratti Pubblici (D.Lgs 36/2023), which sets the rules on competition, eligibility, and award, while internationally-funded projects additionally apply the procurement guidelines of the financing institution. Tender documents are generally issued in Italian, and contract values are denominated in the euro (EUR). Tracking ANAC and the MEPA marketplace (Consip) together with the multilateral and bilateral sources on BidsFactory gives the most complete view of the Italy market.
