Public tenders in
Italy
Italy is the EU's third-largest economy with one of the most active public procurement markets in Europe. The market has historically been fragmented across thousands of contracting authorities but is rapidly centralising through ANAC (the national anti-corruption authority) and the digital platform Acquisti in Rete / MePA. The new Public Contracts Code (D.Lgs. 36/2023) is a major reform aligned with Spain's LCSP, making Italy one of the most structurally similar markets to Spain for Tendios.

Procurement in Italy is harder than it should be
Every EU market has its own quirks. Here's what makes Italy tricky — and why generic procurement tools fall short.
A
NAC role**: Italy's ANAC is more powerful than Spain's JCCA — issues binding guidelines and manages the national contract data registry
A
ffidamento diretto** (direct award): up to €75k for services, €140k for works — higher thresholds than Spain
P
rocedure negoziate senza bando**: negotiated procedure without publication below certain thresholds
P
NRR fast-track procedures**: Italy has special simplified procedures for PNRR-funded projects through 2026
B
DNCP** (National Public Contracts Database): all contracts must be registered — rich data source
C
PV codes are mandatory and well-structured in Italian notices (alignment with Spain's data model)
