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 Discover our coverage of unpublished contracts and take a decisive edge over your competitors.
Cars, vans, trucks, special-purpose vehicles, fleet maintenance: detect every tender before your competitors with GPC Gov.
They win public contracts with GPC Gov
Municipalities, police zones, emergency services, inter-municipal companies and hospitals continuously renew a fleet of several tens of thousands of vehicles. Over the past twelve months nearly 2,950 vehicle and fleet management contracts were published in Belgium, by more than 1,100 contracting authorities.
Electrification of public fleets is accelerating that renewal: every municipal climate plan turns sooner or later into a specification. These contracts are almost always split into lots by vehicle type, which gives specialist dealers and body builders a real chance against the large groups.

Buying two or three vehicles falls below the publication thresholds. GPC Gov surfaces them anyway.
This market plays out on two opposite fields: on one side the large central purchasing contracts, visible to all and contested by importers; on the other a mass of municipal orders for one to five vehicles that appear on no official platform.
It is that second field which keeps a local dealer in business, and it is precisely the one GPC Gov makes visible, filtered on your CPV codes and your catchment area.

2,970 vehicle supply and fleet management contracts over the past twelve months, issued by 1,137 contracting authorities. The Belgian public fleet runs to tens of thousands of vehicles, renewed in batches.
Municipalities for their technical departments, police zones for response vehicles, emergency services for ambulances and fire appliances, inter-municipal companies for collection trucks, hospitals and regional administrations. Each family has its own bodywork requirements, which explains the split into lots.
The 341xx codes for vehicles — 34110 for passenger cars, 34136 for panel vans, 34140 for heavy goods vehicles, 34114 for special-purpose vehicles — and the 501xx codes for maintenance, including 50111 for fleet management. Code 34144, special-application vehicles, belongs to our construction machinery page.
16% of vehicle contracts carry several lots, usually one per vehicle type. That is what gives a specialist dealer or body builder a chance: they bid only on the lot matching their range, without having to cover the whole order.
26% of contracts in this sector carry no notice on any official channel — one of the highest rates we measure. The reason lies in the dominant format: a municipality ordering two or three vehicles stays well below the publication thresholds, and that is precisely the order that keeps a local dealer in business.
