Government Procurement in Ghana

With its capital in Accra and trading in the Ghanaian cedi (GHS), Ghana is a member of ECOWAS, the African Union and the AfCFTA, all of which shape how its public contracts are advertised and awarded. Ghana is an important market for international development procurement in Africa. The country benefits from substantial investments from multilateral development banks and bilateral donors focused on infrastructure development, social services, and economic growth.

How Public Procurement Works in Ghana

Public buyers in Ghana advertise the bulk of their contracts through the Ghana Electronic Procurement System (GHANEPS). Domestic tendering is governed by the Public Procurement Act 2003 (Act 663), which sets the rules on competition, eligibility, and award, while internationally-funded projects additionally apply the procurement guidelines of the financing institution. Tender documents are generally issued in English, and contract values are denominated in the Ghanaian cedi (GHS). Tracking the Ghana Electronic Procurement System (GHANEPS) together with the multilateral and bilateral sources on BidsFactory gives the most complete view of the Ghana market.
