The Tender Board announced the launch of the second batch of notifications dedicated to suppliers and contractors, aiming to enhance the performance of its e-Tendring system, following the first phase of the electronic notifications development project.
This step is founded on the objectives of the Tender Law, which aims to enhance transparency and activate fair competition in government tenders and auctions; in addition to the Tender Board’s keenness to develop and improve operations and facilitate communication between the Board and disposing entities, suppliers and contractors.
In this regard, His Excellency Eng. Jamal Abdulaziz Al-Alawi, Secretary-General of the Tender Board, explained that among the second batch of notifications are ones concerning tenders and auctions for suppliers and contractors according to the sectors of goods, construction, and services. This launch comes within the Board’s strategy to develop and simplify government tendering processes, reflecting the Board’s commitment to achieving the principles of transparency and equal opportunities, while improving communication and automating operations through the e-Tendring system.
Al-Alawi pointed out that this initiative contributes to enhancing fair competition in all stages of government tenders, and supports effective governance in managing these processes, which bolsters the Kingdom’s position as a global model for government tendering and auctioning practices.
The Board had previously launched the first batch of notifications dedicated to suppliers and contractors, including eight notifications in the past month, bringing up the total number of existing notifications to 40.
It is worth noting that the website www.tenderboard.gov.bh is the official platform dedicated to announcing all tenders. Visitors can electronically search for tenders according to various classifications; they can also view lists of approved suppliers and contractors according to various sectors. In addition, the website provides a brief description of the announced tenders and the scope of work required to enable the concerned parties to participate and purchase relevant documents.
