The African Development Bank (AfDB) finances infrastructure, energy, agriculture, water, transport, health and governance projects across its regional member countries in Africa. The goods, works and services for these projects are procured through open tenders run by the borrowing governments and executing agencies, with AfDB oversight to keep the process fair and transparent.
This page brings live AfDB notices into a single, searchable feed. Each listing links through to the full details and on to the official AfDB notice. You can see what was recently posted, when bids are due, and which country and sector each opportunity relates to.
To follow opportunities from other development banks and UN agencies too, use the main MangoFetch feed, which aggregates AfDB alongside the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the EBRD, the EU and the UN system.
How AfDB procurement works
AfDB procurement follows the project cycle and the Bank’s procurement framework. When AfDB approves financing for a regional member country, the government and its executing agency run the tenders to buy what the project needs, while AfDB reviews the process to ensure value for money, transparency and fairness.
Opportunities are advertised as procurement notices — early General Procurement Notices flag upcoming contracts, and specific invitations advertise individual contracts when ready. Monitoring these notices is the most reliable way to catch AfDB-financed opportunities before deadlines close.
Types of AfDB tender notices
AfDB-financed tenders appear as Invitations for Bids (IFB) for goods and works, Requests for Proposals (RFP) for larger services, and Requests for Expressions of Interest (REOI) used to shortlist consulting firms. Smaller purchases use shopping or quotation methods, and contract award notices show who won — useful intelligence for future bids.
Each notice specifies the country, executing agency, sector, procurement method and deadline. Use the filters on this page to focus on the AfDB opportunities that match what your organisation offers.
Who can bid on AfDB-financed contracts
AfDB-financed contracts are generally open to bidders from Bank member countries, including firms, contractors, consultants and individuals. Eligibility, qualification and evaluation criteria are set out in each bidding document, and sanctioned firms are excluded. Joint ventures are common where a single firm cannot meet the qualification requirements alone.
How to find and win AfDB tenders
The practical workflow is consistent across the development banks: monitor new notices daily, identify suitable contracts early, download the bidding documents, and submit a compliant, well-evidenced bid before the deadline. Acting at the expression-of-interest stage gives you time to build partnerships and prepare a strong submission.
MangoFetch handles the monitoring — surfacing new AfDB notices the day they appear, alongside other funders. Create a free account to save AfDB tenders and set up filters for your sectors and countries.
