How to find and win government tenders in Vietnam.
Vietnam's national e-procurement system, VNEPS, centralises public tendering notices across ministries, provinces, and state-owned enterprises at muasamcong.mpi.gov.vn. This guide walks suppliers through registration, tender search, bid submission, and award tracking.
Four steps to your first Vietnam government contract.
1
Register on VNEPS
Create a supplier account at muasamcong.mpi.gov.vn using your business registration certificate. State-owned and joint-stock companies follow the same registration flow; foreign entities may need a local representative.
2
Search and shortlist open tenders
Use VNEPS's category and province filters to find relevant notices. Invitations to bid (ITB) list submission deadlines, technical specifications, and pre-qualification requirements.
3
Submit a compliant bid
Upload bid documents in the required format before the closing time shown on the notice. Late or incomplete submissions are automatically rejected; check security deposit requirements before filing.
4
Track awards and debriefs
Award results are published on VNEPS after evaluation. Review award notices to benchmark pricing and identify recurring buyers for future opportunities.

Search Vietnam government tenders
VNEPS is mandated under Vietnam's Law on Bidding and is the authoritative source for public procurement notices above specified thresholds. Procuring entities range from central ministries and provincial governments to public hospitals and universities. Construction, IT, goods supply, and consulting are the highest-volume categories.
Vietnamese-registered companies can bid directly on VNEPS. Foreign suppliers typically participate through local subsidiaries or joint-venture arrangements, as many contracts carry domestic-preference provisions under current bidding rules. Smaller purchases below threshold may be handled via direct contracting and may not appear on VNEPS.
VNEPS publishes hundreds of new notices daily, making manual monitoring time-intensive. Sell to State indexes VNEPS, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
