Ethiopia Tenders and bid - information

  Are you looking for websites that list bid opportunities in Ethiopia! Here's a comprehensive list of major portals and platforms, along with a brief description and their links.

I. Official Government & Public Sector Portals

These are crucial for tenders issued by government ministries, agencies, and public enterprises.

  1. Public Procurement and Property Administration Agency (PPPA) - Federal & Regional

    • Description: This is the primary federal body overseeing public procurement in Ethiopia. While a central, unified e-procurement portal for all federal tenders is still under development, many government entities still publish tenders on their individual websites or through the PPPA's announcements. You might find general information and links to directives here.
    • Link: While a single portal is not fully centralized, you can often find general information and sometimes links to relevant documents via the Ministry of Finance's (MoF) related sections or by searching for "Federal Public Procurement and Property Administration Agency Ethiopia". A direct "tenders" section often isn't consistently available across all regional/federal PPPA sites.

  2. Individual Ministry/Agency Websites (Important for specific sectors)

    • Description: Many ministries and public enterprises publish their own tenders directly on their official websites. If you're targeting a specific sector (e.g., energy, water, health, infrastructure), it's essential to check the respective ministry or agency's website regularly.
    • Example (Ministry of Water and Energy): You'll find tenders related to water, sanitation, and energy projects.
    • Example (Ethiopian Electric Power): For tenders related to electricity generation, transmission, and distribution.
    • Many others exist, e.g., Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, Ethio Telecom, Ethiopian Airlines, Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, etc. You'll need to search for their official websites and look for "Tenders," "Procurement," or "Announcements" sections.

II. Private & Commercial Tender Aggregators/Platforms

These platforms collect tender information from various sources (newspapers, government websites, private companies, NGOs) and often offer consolidated lists, alerts, and additional services (often paid).

Many international organizations operating in Ethiopia also issue tenders for their projects.

  1. IOM Ethiopia (International Organization for Migration)

    • Description: The IOM procures a wide range of goods, works, and services for its operations in Ethiopia. They often publish their procurement opportunities on their local country office website.

  2. WaterAid Ethiopia

    • Description: An international NGO that regularly issues bids for projects related to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) initiatives across Ethiopia.

Many other NGOs and UN agencies (e.g., UNICEF, UNDP, WHO) also have country offices in Ethiopia and publish their tenders on their local websites or through platforms like UNGM (United Nations Global Marketplace) for larger international tenders.

Tips for Bidding in Ethiopia:

  • Check Multiple Sources: Don't rely on just one website. Tenders can be fragmented across different platforms.
  • Newspapers: Many important government and large private tenders are still advertised in major local newspapers (e.g., The Ethiopian Herald, Reporter, Addis Fortune). The aggregator sites often get their information from these sources.
  • Subscription Services: For serious bidders, subscribing to one or more of the commercial tender aggregators (like 2merkato, EthioTender, iChereta) can save significant time and ensure you don't miss opportunities.
  • Network: Build connections within your industry and with potential clients; direct invitations to bid can also occur.
