Belgium — week of 4–11 October 2026
The week's Belgian notices were dominated by a large IT infrastructure framework from Smals (the shared IT organisation for Belgian public institutions) and a substantial European Commission logistics contract. Several notable awards were published, headlined by a nine-figure security-services contract at the Commission's Brussels estate. Deadlines clustering on 12 October make this a busy week for bid teams.
