Public Tenders in Salzburg – Figures, Sectors & Procurement

Public Tenders in Salzburg

Salzburg is one of Austria's nine federal states, with the city of Salzburg as its capital. Public contracting authorities in Salzburg – including the State of Salzburg, the city of Salzburg, the Salzburg state clinics (SALK), the Paris Lodron University and tourism- and culture-driven municipalities – continuously put supply, works and service contracts out to tender. For companies, Salzburg is therefore an important market for public contracts.
