Summary/Abstract: Th e intention of the regional development policy is to provide equal opportunities especially for disadvantaged townships. Contrary to this, empirical evidence shows that very similar settlements have diverse tendering activities. By tendering activity we mean settlements’ participation in the project proposal activity. This paper presents the determining factors of local governments’ tendering activities in the Kaposvár micro-region from Hungary. The objective factors affecting tendering activity we find the site and position of the settlement, the number and composition of the population, the number of economic institutions, etc. However, there can be some subjective factors which can influence the varying tendering activity, such as the personality and social network of the major, or the composition of the local government’s council, etc.
