How to find and win government tenders in Moldova.
Moldova publishes and manages public procurement through MTender (mtender.gov.md), an open-source e-procurement platform built on the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS). This guide explains how MTender works, who can participate, and how to compete effectively for Moldovan government contracts.
Four steps to your first Moldova government contract.
1
Register as a supplier on MTender
Create a supplier account on mtender.gov.md using your company's IDNO (state registration identifier for Moldovan entities) or the equivalent foreign business registration. Registration is required to submit bids and receive official procurement communications.
2
Search active tender notices
Browse MTender's notice database by procurement category, contracting authority, region, or procedure type. The platform publishes notices for all covered procurement including goods, works, and services across central and local government.
3
Submit your bid electronically
Download tender documentation, prepare your technical and financial offer according to the stated requirements, and submit through MTender before the closing deadline. MTender uses a structured electronic format aligned with OCDS.

Track contract awards and supplier performance data
MTender's OCDS-compliant structure means award data — including contract values and winning suppliers — is publicly accessible. Use this data to benchmark pricing and identify active buyers in your category.

Search Moldova government tenders
Moldova adopted MTender as part of a public procurement reform drive, implementing the Open Contracting Data Standard for transparency. The platform covers procurement by central government ministries, district councils, municipalities, and state institutions. MTender's OCDS alignment means procurement data is structured and machine-readable, making it one of the more transparent procurement systems in the region.
Foreign suppliers can participate in Moldovan procurement. Moldova's trade relationships and reform agenda under the EU Association Agreement have progressively opened the market to international competition. Tender documentation is primarily in Romanian (Moldovan); bidders from other language backgrounds should plan for translation.
MTender's structured data makes it possible to track the full procurement lifecycle from notice to contract award. Sell to State indexes Moldovan procurement notices from MTender, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
