International tender portals

Overseas national portals and multilateral development bank procurement.

Public procurement outside the UK runs on different regimes with their own registration burdens, thresholds and languages, and the effort per bid is usually higher than at home. Ireland is the obvious first step for anyone in Northern Ireland or trading across the border, since eTenders is straightforward and the market is genuinely accessible. The multilateral development banks are a different proposition again: large contracts, long procurement cycles, and a qualification process that rewards firms who commit to it rather than firms who try one bid.
