How to find and win government tenders in Bhutan.
Bhutan's government procurement operates through the eProcurement Bhutan platform at eprocurement.gov.bt, established to bring transparency and efficiency to public sector purchasing. All government agencies above specified thresholds are required to advertise tenders through this system. This guide covers how to register, find opportunities, bid compliantly, and monitor contract awards in Bhutan.
Four steps to your first Bhutan government contract.
1
Register on eProcurement Bhutan as a supplier
Create a supplier account on eprocurement.gov.bt and upload your company registration documents from the Bhutan Companies Act registry, tax clearance certificate, and relevant technical credentials. Foreign companies should confirm documentation requirements with the procuring agency.
2
Search for active tenders on the eProcurement portal
Browse eprocurement.gov.bt by ministry, department, category, or procurement type. Bhutan's government agencies — from Dzongkhag administrations to central ministries — are required to publish tenders through this platform above applicable thresholds.
3
Submit a compliant bid through the e-platform
Download the tender document and prepare your technical and financial submissions according to the specifications. Bid submission is conducted electronically on the platform; ensure all mandatory enclosures are attached before the deadline.
4
Monitor bid results and contract award notices
Award decisions and contract notices are published through official government channels and on the eProcurement portal. Tracking awards helps you identify active buyers and understand the competitive landscape in your category.

Search Bhutan government tenders
Bhutan's public sector procurement covers infrastructure development, hydropower, health services, education, IT, and general government supplies across central ministries, Dzongkhag (district) administrations, and thromde (municipal) bodies. Bhutan's Five-Year Plan framework drives public investment priorities, and many large infrastructure projects are financed with support from India, multilateral development banks, and other development partners.
Bhutan's procurement rules allow international companies to participate in tenders where local supply is insufficient or for specialized technical contracts. For large infrastructure and hydropower-related projects, international competitive bidding is standard. A local agent or registered presence in Bhutan is often beneficial for logistics, communications, and navigating procurement processes effectively. Import procedures and goods-specific regulations apply to cross-border supply.
Bhutan generates procurement opportunities across a range of sectors, and eProcurement Bhutan is the primary official source. Sell to State indexes publicly available Bhutan government procurement notices, enabling keyword searches — such as 'construction Dzongkhag' or 'IT equipment ministry' — and daily email alerts on saved searches for tenders published through eProcurement Bhutan and other official channels.
