Asian Development Bank (ADB) tenders: how to find and win them

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is the main development bank for Asia and the Pacific. It finances governments across the region — infrastructure, energy, transport, water, health, education and climate — and procures the goods, works and consulting services those projects require. That makes ADB tenders a major opportunity for suppliers and consultants across Asia and beyond.

What the ADB finances

ADB investment concentrates on infrastructure and public-sector development across its developing member countries, from South and Southeast Asia to Central Asia and the Pacific. Large, multi-year programmes generate ongoing tenders for civil works, equipment, engineering, technical assistance and monitoring — alongside a steady stream of consulting assignments.

How ADB procurement works

The borrowing government procures under ADB's procurement policy. Opportunities are published as procurement notices, Expressions of Interest for consulting services, and Invitations for Bids for goods and works. Consultants are frequently shortlisted from EOIs before a full request for proposals, and ADB places weight on quality-and-cost-based selection for complex assignments. Registering interest early gives you room to team up with a partner where a contract exceeds what one firm can deliver.
