Education and training tenders come from a wide range of public buyers, from education ministries and municipal education departments to employment agencies. As of 1 October 2026, there are 2,828 open education and training tenders worldwide. These counts change daily as new notices are published and older ones close, so treat the figures below as a snapshot of one day rather than a fixed total.
The same snapshot shows 2,329 tenders new in the last 7 days, which tells you how quickly this category refreshes. You can browse open education and training tenders in every country to see the current picture.
Where the demand is
Open education and training tenders appear in 118 countries. That spread matters: this is not a category concentrated in one or two markets, and a supplier with the right references can find buyers across many systems.
The fifteen countries with the most open education and training tenders as of 1 October 2026 are:
- Brazil (284)
- Singapore (248)
- United States (175)
- Philippines (153)
- Germany (132)
- France (121)
- Chile (100)
- Ukraine (100)
- United Kingdom (94)
- Spain (93)
- Taiwan (85)
- Poland (81)
- Costa Rica (74)
- Morocco (64)
- Colombia (58)
The five countries with the most together account for 992 open tenders, or 35% of the total. The remaining demand is spread across more than a hundred other countries, mostly in smaller volumes.
Brazil leads with 284 open tenders. You can review Education and training tenders in Brazil for the current list. Singapore follows with 248, and 210 of its open notices come from a single buyer, the Ministry of Education. See Education and training tenders in Singapore for details.
The United States is third with 175 open tenders, followed by the Philippines with 153 and Germany with 132. Each of these markets has its own portals, its own documentation and its own registration requirements, which each portal publishes and which readers should check there.
The largest buyers
Across all countries, 1,788 different buyers have at least one open education and training tender. That is a large and fragmented buyer base, and it means most opportunities come from organisations that publish only a few notices at a time.
The busiest buyers by open tenders as of 1 October 2026 are:
- Ministry of Education - Schools, Singapore (210)
- Управління освіти, молоді та спорту Лозівської міської ради Харківскої області, Ukraine (52)
- Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Regionales Einkaufszentrum Südwest, Germany (26)
- BANCO CENTRAL DE COSTA RICA, Costa Rica (15)
- E-IN-C BRANCH - MILITARY ENGINEER SERVICES, India (15)
- Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Regionales Einkaufszentrum Bayern, (mit Zuständigkeit für Bayern und Sachsen), Germany (14)
- Ministry of Railways, India (14)
- Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Regionales Einkaufszentrum BB/SAT, Germany (13)
- Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Regionales Einkaufszentrum NRW, Germany (13)
- CONSORCIO INTERMUNICIPAL DE SAUDE DO VALE DO IVAI E REGIAO, Brazil (10)
The five busiest buyers together account for 318 open tenders, or 11% of the total. The pattern is clear: a single buyer in Singapore accounts for most of that country's open notices, while four regional purchasing centres of Germany's Bundesagentur für Arbeit appear in the top ten, with 66 open tenders between them.
For suppliers, this shape of demand has practical consequences. A handful of very active buyers are worth tracking closely, because they have many open tenders. The long tail of 1,788 buyers is harder to follow manually but collectively represents most of the open market.
What contracts are worth
Not every notice states a value. Of the 2,828 open education and training tenders, 1,095 state an estimated value, which is 39% of the total. For the rest, no value is stated in the notice.
Where values are stated, they appear in several currencies. The three largest groups in this snapshot are:
- EUR: 268 tenders, median EUR 311,875, with the middle half between EUR 64,184 and EUR 1,118,779
- BRL: 247 tenders, median BRL 124,464, with the middle half between BRL 32,050 and BRL 436,648
- UAH: 94 tenders, median UAH 21,600, with the middle half between UAH 18,660 and UAH 103,748
The median is the midpoint of the group, and the middle half describes where the central half of the values sit. In EUR, the middle half spans a wide band, from roughly EUR 64,000 to over EUR 1.1 million.
Because currencies differ and many notices state no value at all, comparing tenders across countries on price alone is unreliable. It is more useful to look at the stated values within one currency group and to read the tender documents for the scope of work.
Deadlines and time to bid
Speed matters in this category. Of the open tenders with a stated deadline, 1,305 close in under 7 days, 1,043 close in 7 to 29 days, 124 close in 30 to 59 days, and 263 close in 60 days or more. A further 93 open tenders have no stated deadline.
The median time left until the deadline is 7 days. The median gap between a notice first appearing and its deadline is 12 days. In other words, a typical education and training tender gives you under two weeks from publication to submission, and half of the tenders open now have a week or less left.
Suppliers who wait for a weekly review, or who rely on someone spotting a notice by chance, risk missing a large share of the opportunities. The 1,305 tenders closing within seven days leave little time for a slow process.
Tracking tenders across countries
The notices in this snapshot come from official procurement portals. The largest sources by open education and training tenders are:
- EU TED (424), portal EU TED
- Brazil PNCP (280)
- Singapore GeBIZ (248), portal Singapore GeBIZ
- Philippines PhilGEPS (152), portal Philippines PhilGEPS
- Chile MercadoPublico (98), portal Chile MercadoPublico
- Ukraine ProZorro (94), portal Ukraine ProZorro
- Taiwan PCC e-Procurement (85), portal Taiwan PCC e-Procurement
- UN Global Marketplace (76), portal UN Global Marketplace
Each of these portals publishes its own registration requirements, and readers should check them there before planning a bid. The same applies to national and local portals not listed above.
Following several portals at once is difficult. Notices are published in local languages, formats differ, and the short deadlines leave little room for a manual sweep. ScoutTide collects open tenders from official portals, matches them against what a company sells, sends a daily list of new matches, and shows English titles where available. That covers the collection and matching work; everything about registration, eligibility and submission stays with the portal that publishes the notice.
If you sell to schools, universities, training bodies or education ministries, you can start from open education and training tenders in every country and narrow down by market. Country pages such as Education and training tenders in the United States, Education and training tenders in the Philippines and Education and training tenders in Germany show what is open in each of those markets right now.
With 2,329 new tenders in the last seven days and a median of 7 days left to bid, the practical question is not whether demand exists but whether you see it in time. Sign up to get tenders like these matched to what you sell, and see plans and pricing for the options available.
