By organisation

United Nations, World Bank, AfDB, European Union, AFD, private companies: these organisations apply their own rules, not the national code. Here is how to respond to them.

• United Nations (UN and its agencies)How to register on UNGM, find a UN notice, tell RFQ, ITB and RFP apart, know where each agency (ILO, UNDP, UNICEF, FAO, UNOPS, IOM, WFP, WHO, UNHCR, Secretariat) actually receives bids, and challenge a decision.
• World Bank (financed projects)How to bid on a World Bank-financed project: who buys, where notices appear, the methods (RFB, RFQ, RFP, QCBS), eligibility, the standstill period and how to complain.
• African Development Bank (AfDB)What to know before bidding on an AfDB-financed project: who buys, the 2015 procurement framework, member-country eligibility and where to follow notices.
• Global Fund (HIV, TB, malaria)Selling health products financed by the Global Fund: who buys (the country's Principal Recipient), the three purchasing routes, quality standards, the absence of domestic preference and what it means for a local firm.
• European Union (external action)How to bid on an EU-financed contract outside the Union: direct or partner-country management, nationality and origin rules, the Funding & Tenders portal, thresholds and remedies.
• French Development Agency (AFD)How to bid on an AFD-financed tender: the project owner buys, the AFD Procurement Guidelines set the rules, no nationality condition, integrity declaration, publication on dgMarket.
• Islamic Development Bank (IsDB)How to bid on a project financed by the Islamic Development Bank: procurement guidelines, notices, member-country eligibility, the standstill period and complaints.
• Regional institutions (BCEAO, BOAD, BEAC, BDEAC, UEMOA, ECOWAS)How to sell to the BCEAO, BOAD, BEAC and the ECOWAS Commission, or bid on a BOAD-financed contract: their own rules, notices, BOAD thresholds, deadlines and remedies, and what we could not establish for the BDEAC and UEMOA.
• Private companies, mining companies and NGOsSelling to a private company, a mining company or an NGO: there is no procurement code, the rule is the buyer's own, except when the money comes from a funder that imposes its rules, and how to get paid when an invoice is unpaid.
