Independence, regulation and how advisory mandates are scoped
Financial advisory work for public bodies is bought under a constraint that shapes every bid: the adviser must be, and be seen to be, independent of the transaction it is advising on. Conflict of interest declarations are made at bid stage and cover the whole firm and its affiliates, not the proposed team, and an existing relationship with a likely counterparty is commonly disqualifying. Firms that also arrange or underwrite are frequently excluded from advising on the same transaction, which is why this category has a distinct supplier population from banking services.
Mandates are scoped around a decision with a date attached -- a funding structure, a valuation, a business case, a restructuring, a concession -- and are almost always phased so the buyer can stop. Fees mix a fixed element for defined deliverables with capped time-based charges for support through a process whose length depends on third parties. Success fees are viewed cautiously in public procurement because they align the adviser with completion rather than with the buyer's interest in walking away, and where they are permitted they are usually capped and disclosed.
Evaluation rests on the individuals and on regulatory standing. Buyers check that the firm holds the authorisations its jurisdiction requires for the activity in question, that professional indemnity cover matches the value of the decisions being advised on, and that the named team has done comparable transactions rather than comparable sectors. Because the deliverable is frequently a document that will be relied on by lenders, auditors or a legislature, the terms governing reliance, liability caps and the right to publish the advice are negotiated as hard as the fee.
This section describes how this category is bought generally, across the public buyers that publish it. The figures elsewhere on this page are measured for this market alone.

What are financial advisory contracts worth in Luxembourg?
11 of the 70 records publish a contract value. The median is $1.6M and the largest single published value is $5.2B. By size, 1 under $100k, 2 between $100k and $1M, 3 between $1M and $10M, 5 above $10M. The remaining 59 publish no value at all, so every figure here describes the priced subset only, and values are as stated by the buyer rather than as finally awarded.

| between $100k and $1M | 2 | 18% |

How long do bidders get to respond to financial advisory tenders in Luxembourg?
Across the 13 Luxembourg financial advisory notices that publish both a publication date and a closing date, the median response window is 31 days. A quarter of them allowed 30 days or fewer and a quarter stayed open for more than 49. Not one of them closed within a fortnight of being published, so the window on this market is consistently workable.
