Where do the calls or invitations for bids appear?
A General Procurement Notice (GPN) is published by the Bank and the Borrower, in the United Nations Development Business Journal (UNDB), upon the approval of each Loan or Grant, by the Bank’s Board of Directors. Subsequently, for all bids where International Competitive Bidding (ICB) is being used, Specific Procurement Notices (SPN) are published in the UNDB and in the respective national press in the Borrower’s country. GPNs and SPNs are also published in the Bank’s AfDB Business Bulletin, which is published monthly, by the Procurement Unit, and is also available on the Website.
