How Public Procurement Works in Serbia

Public buyers in Serbia advertise the bulk of their contracts through the Public Procurement Portal (jnportal).

Tender documents are generally issued in Serbian, and contract values are denominated in the Serbian dinar (RSD). Tracking the Public Procurement Portal (jnportal) together with the multilateral and bilateral sources on BidsFactory gives the most complete view of the Serbia market.
