How to find and win government tenders in Belarus.
Belarus routes the bulk of its state procurement through BUTB (butb.by), the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange, which publishes tender notices across goods, works, and services categories. This guide covers how to access BUTB listings, submit compliant bids, and track contract awards.
Four steps to your first Belarus government contract.
1
Register on BUTB
Create a supplier account on butb.by and complete identity verification. Belarusian legal entities and accredited foreign companies can both register, though requirements differ.
2
Find relevant tender notices
Search BUTB's open tender board by goods/works/services category, contracting authority, or deadline. Notices include technical specifications, evaluation criteria, and submission deadlines.
3
Submit a compliant bid
Prepare your proposal in line with the tender documentation — price, technical response, and required certificates. Submissions on BUTB are electronic; check whether the specific lot requires a qualified electronic signature.
4
Track awards and re-enter
BUTB publishes award notices and contract values after evaluation. Reviewing awarded contracts shows prevailing price ranges and winning suppliers, which sharpens future bids.

Search Belarus government tenders
BUTB is the state-mandated exchange for a wide range of public procurement in Belarus. Contracting authorities — ministries, state enterprises, municipalities — post notices here for competitive selection. The exchange operates both open auctions and restricted procedures depending on contract value and category.
Belarusian legal entities can register directly. Foreign suppliers must meet specific accreditation requirements set by BUTB and may need a local representative. Many contracts in strategic sectors give preference to domestic producers, so international bidders should review eligibility requirements within each tender notice before investing in bid preparation.
BUTB publishes a high volume of notices across multiple categories, making it hard to monitor manually. Sell to State indexes BUTB procurement data, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
