Search Azerbaijan government tenders
ETender is Azerbaijan's mandatory electronic platform for public procurement, operated under the State Agency for Public Service and Social Innovations. It covers central and local government purchases, ranging from routine supplies to large infrastructure works. Procurement in Azerbaijan is governed by the Law on Public Procurement, which sets thresholds for different procedure types.
Foreign suppliers are generally permitted to participate in Azerbaijani open tenders, subject to the qualification requirements stated in each notice. The portal is primarily in Azerbaijani; international bidders should factor in translation requirements and plan adequate preparation time to meet submission deadlines.
Monitoring ETender manually across dozens of contracting authorities is time-consuming. Sell to State indexes Azerbaijani procurement notices, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
