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 livelihoods & enterprise development notices we currently hold for Bangladesh, the most common form is the request for proposal. 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.

Livelihoods and enterprise work is delivery-heavy and measured in outcomes — households reached, enterprises started or sustained, jobs created, income change against a baseline. That makes local presence and a credible community-mobilisation approach as important as technical design, and it is why these contracts frequently go to national organisations or to consortia pairing an international firm with local implementers. Expect payment tied to milestones or verified results, obligations to disaggregate reporting by sex and age, and scrutiny of how benefits will continue after the contract ends. Where the assignment involves grants, revolving funds or matching capital to participants, the financial-management and audit requirements are substantially heavier than for an ordinary services contract.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
