How Public Procurement Works in Turkey

Public buyers in Turkey advertise the bulk of their contracts through EKAP (Electronic Public Procurement Platform). Domestic tendering is governed by Public Procurement Law No. 4734, 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 Turkish, and contract values are denominated in the Turkish lira (TRY). Tracking EKAP (Electronic Public Procurement Platform) together with the multilateral and bilateral sources on BidsFactory gives the most complete view of the Turkey market.

Key Funding Sources for Turkey
