Europe is reaching out, but you still need to know how to answer.
Every year, the European Union allocates billions of euros in public contracts to fund projects, purchase services, and implement policy priorities. Communication, IT, consulting, events, translation, strategic advice, sustainability, all sectors are in the game.
And yet… many businesses are left out.
Not because they lack talent or expertise.
But because EU tenders demand more than skills…
They demand compliance.
Here’s how we turn EU compliance into your competitive edge.
1. Understanding the tender together
We begin by analysing the tender documents and evaluation grid with your team. This is not only about identifying compliance requirements but also about understanding how you want to present your offer and what angle you want to take.
By combining your project vision with my knowledge of how institutions evaluate bids, we shape a strategy that highlights your strengths and anticipates potential risks. This way the proposal reflects both your ambitions and the expectations of evaluators.
2. Building Compliance into the whole offer
Compliance is not confined to one section. Together we make sure it flows naturally through the entire offer: the technical approach, case studies, subcontractor and parent company profiles, and even the sample deliverables.
This consistency and clarity build credibility across the bid. Rather than looking like a legal afterthought, data protection becomes an integral part of the narrative we craft together, strongly reinforcing your position in the evaluation.
3. Demonstrate consortium compliance
Compliant services require compliance across the entire consortium. We assess how personal data flows between consortium members, how processes and tools are used by each party, and whether roles and responsibilities are clearly defined. Each tool used by the consortium is also assessed to ensure it complies with EUDPR requirements.
I verify that all required documentation and contractual arrangements between entities are in place, and that key elements such as records of processing, DPIAs, Data Processing Agreements, and clauses are aligned.
This shows institutions that the consortium is compliant and ready from the start.
4. Documentation ready from day one
From the tender stage, we identify the main situations in which personal data will be processed in the context of the institution’s activities and describe the processes and documentation put in place to manage these data processing activities.
This approach recognises that the Institution always remains responsible and provides a clear and controlled view of how personal data will be processed, by which actors and with which safeguards, giving assurance that everything is under control.
It shows that all legal obligations have been anticipated and understood, and that compliance is ready to be implemented from the very start of the contract.
5. Supporting contract execution over time
Once the contract has started, compliance does not stop with what was defined on paper.
Projects evolve, new tools may be introduced, processes may change, and practical questions arise during execution.
I support the teams throughout the duration of the contract to address these situations, adapt documentation when needed, carry out risk and impact assessments to secure new processing activities, and ensure continuous compliance without slowing down operations.
This ongoing support allows questions to be addressed as they arise, helps avoid blockages or rushed decisions, and ensures that data protection remains under control throughout the contract, providing real peace of mind for the client.
