International development procurement in numbers

International development procurement is large, continuous and spread across dozens of separate portals — which makes it hard to see the whole picture. Using the tenders tracked on MangoFetch, this page pulls together a live snapshot: how much is being tendered, by whom, where, and in which sectors. The figures update automatically as new notices are collected.

MangoFetch is currently tracking 26,199 tenders from the world's major development funders.

Throughout this article, “recent” means the 1,000 most recently published tenders currently tracked on MangoFetch, ranked by their posting date. The figures update automatically as new notices are collected, so the ranking reflects live activity rather than a one-off snapshot.
