How to find and win government tenders in Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan runs all public procurement through Goszakup (goszakup.gov.kz), the mandatory national e-procurement platform where every state contract above minimum thresholds must be advertised and awarded. This guide covers how to register on Goszakup, search for relevant tenders, and submit winning bids.
Four steps to your first Kazakhstan government contract.
1
Register on Goszakup and obtain an EDS key
Suppliers must create an account on goszakup.gov.kz and obtain an Electronic Digital Signature (EDS) issued by the National Certification Authority. The EDS is mandatory for submitting bids and signing contracts electronically.
2
Search for active procurement notices
Use Goszakup's built-in search to filter tenders by industry code, region, contract value, and procurement method. Sell to State also indexes Goszakup notices, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
3
Submit a compliant electronic bid
Bids are submitted entirely through the Goszakup platform and must be signed with your EDS before the deadline. Price, technical specifications, and supporting documents must match the tender requirements exactly.
4
Monitor award results and supplier analytics
Goszakup publishes award decisions and contract data publicly. 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.

Search Kazakhstan government tenders
Goszakup is Kazakhstan's sole mandatory e-procurement platform, operated by the Ministry of Finance. It covers central government agencies, regional akimats (administrations), state-owned enterprises, and quasi-state entities. Procurement methods on the platform include open competitive tenders, price quotations, single-source purchases, and auctions, all governed by the Law on Public Procurement.
Foreign suppliers can register on Goszakup and bid on most open tenders. Obtaining a qualified EDS from a Kazakhstani certification authority is the primary prerequisite. Some defence-related or strategically classified contracts restrict participation to domestic suppliers. For large infrastructure projects, local content requirements may mandate a percentage of work to be performed in Kazakhstan.
Goszakup's built-in interface is in Kazakh and Russian. Sell to State provides English-language search over Goszakup's publicly available tender and award data, making the Kazakhstan government market accessible to international suppliers who do not read Cyrillic. A daily email alert on your saved tender searches gives the number of new matching contracts, and buyer profiles let you track specific agencies over time.
