Most governments can only accept offers that are made to them. If you want to get chosen next time, find out how your government's tender process works, and engage in that process. These are giant US companies whose business differentiator is knowing the government purchase process so they can sell things to the government when others don't.

Public procurement tenders in the EU for city, state and federal contracts often stipulate that the bidding company must have something like three years of consecutive p. a. revenues exceeding anything from €300.000 to €1.000.000 - please tell me how even a freelance developer who bills through their LLC can reasonably participate here on EU rates?

I don't see how this is about people finding out how their government's processes work. Most people in the EU are painfully aware of our horribly broken public procurement schemes.

My tender offer: first you pay me €1.000.000 p.a. for 3 years, then I give you what you asked for
