Civil works, buildings, roads, bridges, water and public-infrastructure contracts issued by government bodies, agencies and private developers.
How they buy
Bangladesh procurement runs largely through the e-GP system operated by the Central Procurement Technical Unit, used by ministries, local government engineering bodies, utilities and development projects. Donor-funded contracts under World Bank, ADB and JICA financing follow the funder's own rules alongside national procedure.
Across the construction & infrastructure notices we currently hold for Bangladesh, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by request for proposal and invitation to bid. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.
What qualifies you
Bidding requires e-GP registration, trade licence, tax and VAT registration, and a bank solvency certificate. Works tenders apply prior-experience and turnover tests, and joint ventures are common for larger packages where a single firm cannot meet the thresholds alone.
Construction and infrastructure is one of the largest tender categories worldwide, spanning roadworks, buildings, bridges, pipelines, electrification and turnkey EPC projects. Notices here usually specify eligibility criteria such as prior similar work, annual turnover and technical staff, along with earnest-money and performance-guarantee requirements. Read the bill of quantities and completion timeline carefully, and check whether the tender is item-rate, percentage-rate or lump-sum before pricing your bid.
Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
