How ADB Procurement Works

As a multilateral development bank, ADB does not run most tenders directly: its borrowing governments and executing agencies conduct procurement while ADB provides the financing and oversight under the ADB Procurement Policy. Notices, expressions of interest, and contract awards covering Asia and the Pacific are published through the Asian Development Bank (adb.org) in English. Monitoring ADB alongside national portals on BidsFactory captures both the bank-financed pipeline and the domestic procurement it co-finances.

What ADB Publishes

ADB notices on the Asian Development Bank (adb.org) span the procurement categories most active across Asia and the Pacific:

• Transport: Roads, railways, ports, and urban transport
• Energy: Power systems and clean energy
• Urban Development: Cities and municipal services
• Water: Water supply and sanitation
• Social Sectors: Health, education, and social protection

Geographic Coverage

ADB opportunities cover Asia and the Pacific. Geographic eligibility on an individual contract can vary with the financing and the implementing agency, so confirm the rules in each notice. All ADB listings on BidsFactory can be filtered by sector and contract type, and non-English notices are translated to English.

Types of Contracts

ADB contracts fall into the standard public-procurement categories, all advertised through the Asian Development Bank (adb.org) in English:

• Supplies: Purchase and delivery of goods and equipment
• Public Works: Civil works, building, and rehabilitation contracts
• Non-Consulting Services: Operation, maintenance, and support services
• Consulting Services: Advisory, design, supervision, and studies

Contract values range from low-value purchases to major infrastructure programmes across Asia and the Pacific.

Eligibility and Registration

Eligibility for ADB contracts depends on the project and the financing rules set out in the ADB Procurement Policy: some assignments are open to firms from any member country while others carry nationality or origin restrictions. Vendors typically register with the Asian Development Bank (adb.org) and keep capability statements current. Documents are issued in English.
