How to find and win government tenders in Egypt.
Egypt centralises public procurement through the Egypt e-Procurement Portal (https://etender.gov.eg), which publishes tender notices from ministries, governorates, and public authorities across the country. This guide walks through supplier onboarding, how to search for opportunities, what a compliant bid looks like, and how to track awarded contracts.
Four steps to your first Egypt government contract.
1
Register on the Egypt e-Procurement Portal
Create an account on etender.gov.eg and complete supplier registration with your commercial registration, tax card, and any sector-specific certifications. Registration enables you to download tender documents and submit offers electronically.
2
Search for active tender notices
Use the portal's search and filtering tools to find tenders by sector, procuring entity, or location. Notices include the full specification, evaluation criteria, financial guarantee requirements, and submission deadlines.
3
Prepare a compliant technical and financial offer
Egyptian procurement law requires separation of technical and financial envelopes in most open tenders. Ensure all mandatory attachments — including bid bond, tax compliance certificate, and commercial registration — are included or the bid will be disqualified.
4
Track awards and contract outcomes
Award decisions are published on the portal and in official procurement notices. Review winning bids to benchmark your pricing and refine future submissions across the same contracting authorities.

Search Egypt government tenders
The Egypt e-Procurement Portal operates under the country's public procurement law and is used by a wide range of contracting entities, from central ministries to local government units and state-owned enterprises. Notices span public works, goods supply, IT systems, consulting, and services. Threshold rules determine whether procurement proceeds by direct award, limited quotation, or open competitive tender.
Egypt's procurement market is one of the largest in Africa and the Middle East. International companies can bid on many categories, particularly for large infrastructure, technology, and services contracts. Foreign suppliers typically need to work with a locally registered entity or demonstrate compliance with Egyptian commercial law requirements. Some strategic sectors apply additional nationality or local-content rules.
With thousands of contracting entities spread across ministries, governorates, and public bodies, manually tracking the Egypt e-Procurement Portal is time-intensive. Sell to State indexes Egyptian tender and award data, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
