How can I become an ADB supplier? (corporate procurement)

Guidance for suppliers of ADB's institutional requirements

  • Individuals and business firms interested in supplying goods or services for the institutional requirements of ADB must register in the Supplier Information Management Portal (“Supplier Portal”).
  • Suppliers must be a citizen of or incorporated in an ADB member and not be on the ADB sanction list or the sanction list of another multilateral development bank.
  • Registration gives suppliers an opportunity to be in ADB's database and to maintain close collaboration with ADB.
  • Approval of supplier registration is neither a commitment from ADB to invite registered suppliers to bid nor a guarantee from ADB to award a contract. But it is a pre-requisite to the conclusion of any contract or purchase order for the provision of institutional goods and services.
  • Prospective suppliers will be requested to provide:
    • General information such as complete name, nature of business, year established, address, contact details and contact persons.
    • Scanned copies of applicable documents such as the following:
      • Individual experts: curriculum vitae and valid ID
      • Business firms: business registration; articles of incorporation or partnership; memorandum of association; legal documents indicating current officers of the firm; complete copies of company financial documents (audited financial statements for the past two years, annual reports); and
    • Financial data and bank details
