Q: What is the difference between BOAMP and PLACE?

BOAMP is commonly used for French public procurement notices, while PLACE is the French government procurement platform where many public buyers publish procedures, provide documents and manage electronic exchanges. For monitoring France properly, teams often need visibility across notices, buyer platforms and document sources.

Q: What is a DCE and why is it important?

DCE stands for Dossier de Consultation des Entreprises, the tender document package. It can include instructions, technical specifications, contract terms, pricing forms and other files. The DCE is often where the real qualification work happens, which is why Tendify focuses on collecting documents and turning them into structured Tender Brief answers.

Q: Can Riko answer questions about French tender files?

Riko can help your team ask questions about tender context, requirements, deadlines, risks and documents available in the workspace. For bid-critical interpretation, your team should still verify the source text and any legal or contractual requirements before submitting.

Tendify helps your team discover, evaluate and manage public tender opportunities in France, from daily monitoring and document collection to AI-generated Tender Briefs and pipeline decisions.
