Public tender support for SMEs in Belgium
Every working day we screen all publications, every week we send you the tenders that fit your business, and every month a full report. You focus on running your company.
Active across Belgium, specialised in public procurement for SMEs
Who we are
Mechele Consultancy helps SMEs stop missing opportunities in public procurement. We take the search work off your hands entirely: from monitoring Belgian and European publications to submitting your bid.
No subscription to a tender platform you have to search yourself. We do it for you: personally, filtered on your profile, delivered every week.
What is out there
Count from our own database of contract awards published on TED, the European tender platform. Smaller contracts below the European threshold come on top of this.
Construction and renovation
contracts awarded
40% went to an SME
54% had three bidders or fewer
Grounds maintenance
contracts awarded
51% went to an SME
42% had three bidders or fewer
Technical maintenance
contracts awarded
41% went to an SME
59% had three bidders or fewer
Cleaning
contracts awarded
35% went to an SME
36% had three bidders or fewer
In more than half of the construction and technical tenders, three companies or fewer competed. Those contracts go to whoever spots them in time, not always to whoever does the best work.
Period: awards published from 28 October 2025 to 28 October 2026. The SME share is calculated on the awards where the size of the winner is known, the number of bidders on the awards where it is stated. A contract can fall under more than one sector.
What we do
Every working day we screen all relevant procurement platforms, every week we send you the tenders that fit your business, each with a short summary and our advice, and every month a full report of everything that was screened.
Found an interesting tender and want to actually submit a bid? We prepare the complete tender file and make sure it is submitted correctly and on time. The bid stays yours: you set the price and approve the file, and we submit it on e-Procurement with your power of attorney.
How it works
A short email is enough. We then ask you by email for a few details: your sector, your capacity and the area you work in.
We build a search profile based on your activities, your region and the size of contracts you can take on.
Every working day we screen the publications, every week you receive the matching tenders with summary and advice, every month a full report. You decide whether to bid.
Why Mechele Consultancy
No noise, no irrelevant results. Only tenders that really fit your business.
Searching for tenders takes hours every week. From now on, that time goes into your business.
We monitor the market every day. Deadlines and new tenders no longer slip through the cracks.
Frequently asked questions
You receive the prices by email, together with how we work, so you can compare everything side by side. Monitoring is a fixed monthly amount, minimum three months, after which you can stop with a single email. The margin on one tender you win more than covers it.
The fixed price covers the work on your bid. You only pay the success fee if you win the contract. If you lose, you pay nothing extra.
Yes. You receive the matching tenders with a summary and advice, and you choose per tender: submit yourself, or leave the bid support to us.
We do, on e-Procurement, with a power of attorney from your managing director. The bid stays yours: you set the price and approve the file before it goes out.
We check whether you meet what the tender asks: turnover, references, accreditation and certificates. Whether your company is up to date with taxes and social security, you declare yourself in a standard form, and the authority checks that itself.
That is exactly why. We look up public data such as your company number and annual accounts ourselves. For each tender, all we ask from you is yes or no.
That depends on your sector and region, and we do not promise a number. We only send what really fits your business. The monthly report shows everything that was screened, including in a month without a match.
From about three employees it becomes realistic. If you are smaller, we will tell you honestly and look at most at one concrete tender you can actually deliver.
Monitoring starts on the seventh working day after your first payment. In those days we build your search profile. After that we screen every working day, and a summary follows as soon as there is a tender that fits.
Yes. Belgian public tenders are open to companies from other EU countries under the same rules. Most tender documents are in Dutch or French; we read them, summarise them for you in English and tell you what is required.
