Who may bid
Directive 2009/81/EC (defence and security procurement)
Each EU country decides whether its buyers may let companies from outside the EU take part (recital 18): the notice says what applies. The buyer may ask, or its country may require it to ask, the winner to subcontract a share of the contract, at most 30 % of its value, to subcontractors it chooses by competition (Article 21): a way to take part in the work without bidding.
What the act says, not advice: the notice and the buyer set the conditions.
