How EKAP Procurement Works

Public buyers across Turkey advertise the bulk of their contracts through the Public Procurement Authority (ekap.kik.gov.tr) under Public Procurement Law No. 4734. Tender documents are issued in Turkish, and EKAP carries notices from central government down to local agencies. Because internationally-funded projects in Turkey may additionally follow a financier's procurement rules, tracking EKAP together with development-bank sources on BidsFactory gives the most complete view of the market.

What EKAP Publishes

EKAP notices on the Public Procurement Authority (ekap.kik.gov.tr) span the procurement categories most active across Turkey:

• Construction & Engineering: Buildings, networks, and capital projects
• Supplies & Commodities: Equipment, pharmaceuticals, and consumables
• IT & Telecommunications: Software, hardware, and network services
• Operations & Maintenance: Facility management and operational support
• Studies & Advisory: Feasibility studies, audits, and consulting

Geographic Coverage

EKAP opportunities cover Turkey. Most notices apply to buyers within Turkey, though contracts co-financed by international institutions may open to wider competition. All EKAP listings on BidsFactory can be filtered by sector and contract type, and non-English notices are translated to English.

Types of Contracts

EKAP contracts fall into the standard public-procurement categories, all advertised through the Public Procurement Authority (ekap.kik.gov.tr) in Turkish:

• Goods / Supplies: Equipment, materials, and commodities
• Works: Construction, rehabilitation, and infrastructure
• Services: Operational and non-consulting services
• Consulting: Studies, technical assistance, and advisory assignments

Contract values range from low-value purchases to major infrastructure programmes across Turkey.

Eligibility and Registration

To bid for EKAP contracts, suppliers normally register on the Public Procurement Authority (ekap.kik.gov.tr) and keep their qualification and tax documents up to date, in line with Public Procurement Law No. 4734. Submissions and supporting documents are generally prepared in Turkish. Foreign firms competing in Turkey may need a local presence, a local partner, or specific certifications depending on the contract.
