Self-employed

The notices you can still answer.

Enter your VAT or enterprise number. AOEX reads the public CBE record and shows the TED notices that are still open and line up with that activity, with the deadline, the published specification, and a short checklist.

AOEX is for workers, self-employed people, and small companies, not only large firms.

The number is enough. General notices stay hidden until the CBE record has been read.

The notices shown come from TED, the official journal for contracts above the EU thresholds. Belgian contracts below those thresholds are published on e-Procurement (BOSA, publicprocurement.be). No open feed without credentials was confirmed: machine access needs an OAuth client issued by BOSA. Those notices are not included.

In which language do you reply to a Belgian TED notice?

The title stays in the language TED published. The submission language is the one the notice states. If the notice publishes none, AOEX does not pick one.

The title stays as TED publishes it

The title of a notice is shown in the language TED published. AOEX does not rewrite it into French, Dutch, or English to fill the page.

That title language is shown when TED publishes it. If it is missing from the fields received, the page says so.

Another language is marked as a translation

When TED also publishes the title in another language, that text is shown apart. It is marked as a translation, with the name of that language.

The original title stays the title. The body of the notice is not rewritten.

The submission language is a separate field

The language in which a reply is expected is not inferred from the title. AOEX reads the field the notice publishes for the submission language.

When that field states one or more languages, the page repeats them: “The notice states: …”. French, Dutch, English, and German are named when the published code is the code for those languages. Another code is shown without an invented language name.

When the notice publishes no language

If the notice publishes no submission language, the page marks it unknown. AOEX does not pick French, Dutch, or English to fill the gap.

The text to follow stays the official notice. This page does not say in which language a company must reply, and it does not say who is awarded the contract.

This note describes public documents and how AOEX works. It is not legal advice.
