How to find and win government tenders in Ghana.
Ghana's public procurement is centralised on GHANEPS (https://www.ghaneps.gov.gh), the national e-procurement system operated by the Public Procurement Authority. This guide covers how to register on GHANEPS, search for tender opportunities across government entities, submit a compliant offer, and track contract awards.
Four steps to your first Ghana government contract.
1
Register on GHANEPS
Create a supplier account on www.ghaneps.gov.gh and upload your business registration certificate, Tax Identification Number, and relevant sector certifications. Full registration is required to access tender documents and submit electronic bids.
2
Search for active tender notices
Browse GHANEPS by entity, sector, or procurement method. The portal lists open competitive tenders, restricted tenders, and request-for-quotation notices from Procurement Entities across central government, districts, hospitals, and public institutions.
3
Submit your technical and financial offer
Ghana's Public Procurement Act requires bids to address technical and financial criteria separately. Upload all mandatory attachments — including your bid security, social security clearance, and statutory declarations — before the published deadline.

Track tender opening and award outcomes
GHANEPS publishes tender opening minutes and contract award notices. Monitor these to understand evaluation outcomes, successful price levels, and award patterns across your target Procurement Entities.

GHANEPS is Ghana's national e-procurement platform, operated by the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) under the Public Procurement Act. It serves as the mandatory publication point for tenders from central ministries, metropolitan and district assemblies, teaching hospitals, statutory bodies, and state-owned enterprises. Procurement methods on the system range from open competitive tendering for high-value contracts down to restricted and sole-source awards where the law allows.
Ghana's procurement framework is relatively accessible to international suppliers for goods and services above defined thresholds, particularly in sectors where domestic supply is limited. The Public Procurement Act includes provisions for domestic preference margins in evaluation, which benefit locally registered companies. Foreign suppliers participating in Ghanaian tenders generally need to comply with the same registration, tax, and social security documentation requirements as domestic firms.
GHANEPS covers a broad range of procuring entities, making it the primary source for Ghana's government purchasing activity. Sell to State indexes GHANEPS tender and award data, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
