How to find and win government tenders in Albania.
Albania operates its public procurement through APP (Agjencia e Prokurimit Publik — Public Procurement Agency) at app.gov.al, the national platform where contracting authorities publish tender notices and conduct electronic procurement procedures. This guide explains how the system works, who can participate, and how to compete for Albanian public contracts.
Four steps to your first Albania government contract.
1
Register on the APP e-procurement system
Suppliers register at app.gov.al. Albanian legal entities use their NIPT (tax number) to register. Foreign companies submit equivalent registration documents. A qualified electronic signature may be required for bid submission on some procedures.
2
Search for open tender notices
APP lists procurement notices from all contracting authorities subject to the Law on Public Procurement. Search by procedure type, category, contracting authority, or deadline to find relevant open competitions.
3
Prepare and submit your bid electronically
Download the full tender dossier from the APP portal. Prepare your technical and financial offer in line with the specifications and submit electronically by the stated deadline. Ensure all required eligibility documents — certificates, declarations, financial statements — are attached.
4
Track award outcomes and contract registers
APP publishes contract award notices and registers awarded contract data. Reviewing outcomes by authority and sector helps understand competitive pricing and identify active buyers for future bids.

APP (Agjencia e Prokurimit Publik) is the institution responsible for administering Albania's public procurement system, operating the national e-procurement platform at app.gov.al. Albania's procurement framework is governed by the Law on Public Procurement (Law No. 162/2020) and its implementing regulations, which are substantially aligned with EU procurement directives as part of Albania's EU accession process. All central government bodies, municipalities, and public enterprises above defined value thresholds are required to publish notices through APP.
Albania's EU accession trajectory means that foreign companies — particularly from EU and EEA countries — face a broadly open procurement environment, though specific procedures may include domestic or regional preference provisions. Suppliers must demonstrate financial standing, relevant experience, and compliance with eligibility criteria stated in each tender. Documentation is often required in Albanian; translations may be needed for foreign-company certificates.
Albania's procurement market spans public works, infrastructure, supplies, and services, with central government and municipalities as the primary buyers. Sell to State indexes APP procurement data, enabling plain-English search across Albania's public tender pipeline and daily email alerts on saved searches for relevant contracts.
