How to find government tenders and bid on contracts in Chad.
Chad's public procurement is managed through OCMP Chad (Office Central des Marchés Publics), the body responsible for publishing tender notices and overseeing competitive bidding across government ministries and public institutions. This guide explains how the market works and how suppliers can participate.
Four steps to your first Chad government contract.
1
Register your business and obtain required clearances
Suppliers must be registered under Chadian commercial law and hold current tax and social-security clearance certificates. Foreign companies typically need a local representative or a joint-venture with a Chad-registered firm for nationally funded contracts.
2
Find open tenders through OCMP Chad
Procurement notices are published via OCMP Chad (ocmp-tchad.org) and official government bulletins. Notices identify the procuring authority, the nature of the contract, eligibility requirements, and submission deadlines.
3
Assemble and submit a compliant bid
Bid dossiers must match the specifications in the tender document exactly — administrative, technical, and financial sections all submitted by the deadline. Missing any mandatory document results in disqualification.
4
Track award publications and build your buyer map
Award results are published through OCMP Chad. Recording who buys what — and at what value — lets you prioritise future bids and understand competitive intensity in your sector.
