Short, practical guides for Bangladeshi bidders. General information only; always follow the official tender document and the current Public Procurement Rules.
Registration on the national e-GP portal costs Tk 5,000 with a Tk 2,000 yearly renewal (e-GP FAQ, checked 12 Oct 2026). Registered tenderers can view tender documents online. Since the Public Procurement Rules 2025 took effect on 28 September 2025, e-GP has become mandatory for public tenders, so registration is the first eligibility gate for most bidders.
ReadIn the standard tender documents, the Tender Data Sheet (TDS) overrides the general Instructions to Tenderers. Look for: minimum average annual turnover, similar-works experience (value and number of contracts), liquid assets or credit line, bid security amount and validity, tender validity period, and required licences. These are the fields BidLink AI extracts and cites.
ReadUnder the standard works document e-PW2B (Oct 2025 edition), tender security is capped at 3% of the official estimate, and tender validity is typically 60 to 150 days; a tender without the required security is non-responsive. Check the amount, the bank format and the validity date against the TDS, and start the bank process early.
ReadAmendments are published on e-GP only. If an amendment is issued when less than one third of the tendering period remains, the deadline is normally extended by at least three working days. Track every version of a tender you follow, not just the first notice.
