Below-threshold contracts: our differentiator
Nearly 40% of Belgian public spending is awarded below the mandatory publication thresholds. Discover our coverage of unpublished contracts and take a decisive edge over your competitors.
Organisational advice, project management, change support, evaluation: detect every assignment before your competitors with GPC Gov.
They win public contracts with GPC Gov
Organisational reform, digital transformation, strategic plans, evaluation of public policy: Belgian administrations buy consultancy continuously. Over the past twelve months more than 3,600 consultancy contracts were published, by around 1,500 contracting authorities.
The framework agreement dominates: the authority selects a handful of firms for several years, then orders as needs arise. Missing the initial call means being shut out until the next renewal — hence the value of being alerted on the day of publication.

A large share of advisory assignments stays below the publication thresholds. GPC Gov surfaces them anyway.
Consultancy is the sector where the share of below-threshold contracts matters most: an assignment worth a few tens of thousands of euros carries no publication requirement and is settled among the firms the administration already knows.
GPC Gov gets you into that circle by surfacing these restricted consultations alongside published notices. You see the real market, not only its visible part.

4,340 business and management consultancy contracts over the past twelve months, issued by 1,550 contracting authorities. That volume places consultancy just behind engineering among the intellectual services bought by the Belgian public sector.
Federal and regional administrations for structural reform, municipalities and welfare centres for the organisation of their services, hospitals for their financial plans, inter-municipal companies and universities. Amounts range from a few tens of thousands of euros to multi-year framework agreements.
The 794xx codes: 79400 generic for business and management consultancy, 79410 and 79411 for general management, 79412 for financial management, 79419 for advisory and evaluation, 79421 for project management other than construction. The 793xx codes belong to research and communication.
Because it spares the administration from running a procedure for every assignment. It selects a handful of firms for three or four years, then orders as needs arise. The consequence for a candidate is blunt: missing the initial call shuts the door until the next renewal, with nothing in between.
2% of consultancy contracts over the past twelve months carry no notice on the official channels. The figure looks small, but it covers the contracts the database knows about: the most discreet consultations, addressed directly to three firms, often leave no public trace at all.
