    French Government Tenders via BOAMP

    BOAMP (Bulletin Officiel des Annonces des Marchés Publics) is France’s official gazette for public procurement notices. It publishes tens of thousands of marchés publics annually from central government, régions, départements, and communes. Jorpex monitors BOAMP and delivers matching tenders to your Slack channel.

    What is BOAMP?

    BOAMP is the mandatory publication channel for French public procurement notices below and above EU thresholds. Managed by the Direction de l’information légale et administrative (DILA), it covers all types of marchés publics including fournitures, services, and travaux. Notices are published in French.

    French procurement thresholds and procedures

    French procurement law (Code de la commande publique) requires BOAMP publication for contracts above €40,000. Below this amount, authorities may use simplified procedures. Above EU thresholds, notices also appear on TED. BOAMP is the primary source for the large middle tier of French public contracts.

    Classification system

    BOAMP uses CPV codes consistent with EU standards, supplemented by French-specific categorization. The portal supports search by department (département), region, type of contract, and CPV division. Jorpex applies your keyword filters across all of these fields for comprehensive matching.

    How Jorpex monitors BOAMP

    Jorpex continuously ingests new BOAMP publications and applies your custom filters. Matching marchés publics are posted to Slack with the title, contracting authority, estimated value, deadline, and a direct link. You don’t need to read French—Jorpex keyword matching works across languages.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I find French government tenders?

    French government tenders are published on BOAMP (Bulletin Officiel des Annonces des Marchés Publics) for contracts above €40,000. Above EU thresholds, they also appear on TED. Jorpex monitors BOAMP automatically and delivers matching marchés publics to your Slack channel.

    Do I need to speak French to bid on BOAMP tenders?

    BOAMP notices are published in French, and bid responses typically need to be in French. However, Jorpex’s keyword matching works across languages, so you can monitor BOAMP using English keywords. Many international companies work with local partners or translators for the bid response phase.

    Can international companies bid on French public contracts?

    Yes. France follows EU procurement directives, and public contracts are open to companies from EU member states and GPA signatory countries. There are no nationality restrictions for most BOAMP tenders, though some defense or security contracts may have specific requirements.
