What Achatpublic does

Achatpublic.com is a French Simplified Joint-Stock Company (SAS, RCS Créteil 447 854 621, share capital €4,295,590.88) headquartered in Gentilly and operating as a brand of the Infopro Digital group. It runs a two-sided SaaS platform for the dematerialisation of French public procurement: Le portail de l'achat public on the buyer side, providing sourcing, drafting, buyer profile, procedure management, act tracking, archiving, electronic auctions and calls for expressions of interest, and La salle des marchés on the enterprise side, where companies search consultations (by keyword, procedure type, CPV codes and specific criteria such as DUME, e-signature, social and environmental aspects), submit electronic bids, exchange Q&A and manage electronic correspondence. The platform integrates with BOAMP/JOUE notice feeds, data.gouv, marchesonline.com, and adds electronic-vault and e-signature functions; a generative-AI assistant called Scribe was embedded into the buyer portal in 2025-2026 to assist with document drafting and regulatory navigation.

The company monetises the platform through enterprise Référencement Premium subscriptions at €490 HT/year for enhanced visibility, recurring public-buyer SaaS contracts (more than 4,000 clients referenced), a Qualiopi-certified training catalogue (Formations achatpublic.com, with ~80 expert trainers and 21 years of experience), recurring flagship events such as La Folle Semaine des Marchés Publics and the Trophées de la commande publique (co-organised with Eventmaker), and the achatpublic.info professional news brand. Distribution is supported by the Infopro Digital media portfolio (La Gazette des communes, Le Moniteur) and a multi-channel GTM combining enterprise field sales, inside sales with HubSpot-tracked landing pages, regional events, and self-service PLG on La salle des marchés.

Direct peers

• e-marchespublics.com (Dematis group): Direct French competitor offering an enterprise-facing platform to search and respond to public tenders, with buyer-side dematerialisation tools. Comparable buyer/enterprise two-sided model and French regulatory focus.
• AWS Achats Publics (PLACE): French public-procurement dematerialisation platform targeting the same buyer and enterprise segments in France, with comparable workflow coverage (sourcing, procedure, archiving) for French public buyers.
• marchesonline.com: French online public-procurement platform publishing tender notices (avis) and calls for bids. Cross-linked from Achatpublic.com as a partner for 'appels d'offres en cours', it offers overlapping enterprise-facing tender-search functionality and competes for the same French public-procurement audience.
• SALSA (Salsa Software): French procurement and contract-management SaaS that overlaps with Achatpublic.com on buyer-side workflow and document drafting for public-sector organisations.

Emerging players

• Mercateo (Unite Network): Europe-wide B2B procurement network and platform connecting buyers and suppliers; partial overlap with Achatpublic.com's enterprise-sourcing and référencement use cases for European public procurement.
• Korioz: French public-procurement software vendor offering buyer-side workflow tools; smaller and more specialised than Achatpublic.com but competes in the same French-market buyer portal category.

Others

• Infopro Digital (parent group): Parent group that also operates media brands (La Gazette des communes, Le Moniteur) and event platforms (Eventmaker) serving the same French public-procurement audience; not a direct competitor but a strategic ecosystem participant and owner of Achatpublic.com.

Broad incumbents

• SAP Ariba: Global procurement-suite incumbent whose sourcing and contract-management modules can be deployed by large French public entities; competes with Achatpublic.com's Portail de l'achat public at the high end of the public-buyer market.
• Jaggaer: Broad-source-to-pay procurement platform with public-sector customers in Europe; overlaps with Achatpublic.com on sourcing, supplier discovery and contract workflows, but serves larger cross-border buyers.
• Proactis: European procurement SaaS covering source-to-pay, supplier management and contract lifecycle — competitive to Achatpublic.com for mid-market and large French public-sector accounts seeking integrated suites.
