Vanuatu's public procurement is administered by the Government Tenders Board under the Public Finance and Economic Management Act. Central government ministries and statutory bodies publish tenders for infrastructure, healthcare, education, and government goods and services. Development-partner funded projects — from the World Bank, ADB, and others — are also a significant procurement channel and follow their own guidelines.
Both domestic and international suppliers may participate in Vanuatu government tenders. Donor-funded contracts commonly require open international competitive bidding. Domestically funded contracts may favor local suppliers under Vanuatu's local content policies — always verify eligibility in the specific tender documents.
