Search Montenegro government tenders
Portal javnih nabavki (ujn.gov.me) is Montenegro's central e-procurement hub, managed by the Public Procurement Administration (UJN). All contracting authorities — central government, municipalities, and public enterprises — are required to publish procurement notices, tender documents, and award decisions here. Montenegrin procurement law has been progressively aligned with EU directives as part of the country's EU accession process.
International suppliers are generally permitted to bid on Montenegrin public tenders. Eligibility conditions and required documentation are set out in each individual tender. Tender documents are primarily in Montenegrin; foreign bidders often work with local representatives on larger, more complex procedures.
Keeping up with new postings across multiple categories on Portal javnih nabavki requires constant manual checking. Sell to State indexes Montenegro procurement data, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
