How to access and bid on government tenders in Iraq.
Iraq publishes government tenders through Iraq e-Procurement (e-procurement.iq), the digital platform for public contracting across federal ministries and state bodies. This guide covers how the system works, who is eligible to bid, and how to track opportunities across a large and fragmented procurement landscape.
Four steps to your first Iraq government contract.
1
Register as a supplier on Iraq e-Procurement
Create a supplier account at e-procurement.iq and submit your company's legal and financial registration documents. Approved suppliers gain access to tender notices and downloadable bid packages.
2
Search tenders by ministry, sector, or closing date
The platform lists active procurement notices across federal ministries and state enterprises. Filter by sector — works, goods, or services — and by the issuing authority to find contracts matching your capabilities.
3
Submit a compliant technical and financial bid
Each tender package specifies technical qualifications, financial guarantees, and submission requirements. Prepare your bid to meet every stated condition and submit before the advertised deadline.
4
Track contract awards and build long-term buyer relationships
Award notices, when published, reveal winning suppliers and contract values. Iraq's procurement volume is significant; tracking awards by ministry helps identify high-frequency buyers and re-procurement cycles.

Iraq's public procurement system spans a large number of federal ministries, regional authorities, and state-owned enterprises. The Iraq e-Procurement platform is the central digital channel for publishing tenders at the federal level, though some entities and regional governments may publish separately. Sectors with significant procurement activity include infrastructure, oil and gas services, healthcare, and IT. Procurement rules are governed by federal financial management law, with separate rules for Iraqi Kurdistan.
Iraq's procurement market is open to both domestic and foreign companies in principle, though local agent or joint-venture arrangements are common in practice, particularly for larger contracts. Financial guarantees such as bid bonds and performance bonds are typically required. Due diligence on each issuing authority's specific rules is essential, as requirements can vary between ministries and entities.
The volume and diversity of Iraqi government contracting makes manual tracking difficult — tenders span dozens of ministries and entities across different publication channels. Sell to State indexes publicly available Iraq e-Procurement notices so you can search by keyword, buyer, or sector without navigating multiple government sites. Save the search and turn on its alert: once a day, we email you the number of new open and awarded tenders that match it.
