Register on Bangladesh e-GP — step by step, 2026.

The Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) portal at eprocure.gov.bd is the entry point for Bangladesh contractors to bid on government tenders. The portal is operated by the Central Procurement Technical Unit (CPTU) under the Implementation Monitoring & Evaluation Division (IMED). Without an active e-GP user ID, your firm cannot legally bid on any procurement subject to Public Procurement Rules 2008 Schedule II — which covers essentially every government tender above BDT 5 lakhs.

Once registered, your firm receives a bidder profile identified by your e-GP user ID (format: BD- followed by your TIN). You can download tender documents from any of the 91+ procuring entities, submit bids electronically (Form Tech-1 through Tech-9), see CPTU- published procurement plans for the current and next fiscal years, and access your full transaction history for dispute resolution.

The registration is firm-level, not user-level. One firm (one TIN) gets one e-GP user ID. You can authorise additional staff to act on behalf of that user ID, but the firm cannot register twice — the system rejects duplicate TIN entries.

Statutory documents (5)

• Trade Licence — issued by City Corporation, Municipality, or Union Parishad, currently valid
• TIN Certificate from National Board of Revenue
• BIN Certificate for VAT-registered firms
• VAT Registration Certificate if applicable
• RJSC Incorporation Certificate for limited companies, partnership deed for partnerships, or proprietorship registration

Bank documents (3)

• Bank Account Statement— latest, with the firm’s current account number
• Bank Solvency Certificate — issued within the last 3 months
• Schedule Bank Letter confirming the account is operational

Financial documents (3)

• Audit Report — last 3 fiscal years
• Income Tax Acknowledgement — return- receipt for last 3 years
• Work Categorisation Document — if your firm holds a category from the relevant ministry (e.g. RHD W1/W2/W3)

Identity (3)

• National ID of the authorised signatory
• Photo of the authorised signatory — passport-size, white background, JPEG ≤ 100 KB
• Authorised signatory’s signature — specimen on white paper, scanned

1. Visit eprocure.gov.bdand click “New User Registration”. Toggle to your preferred language (Bangla / English) at the top right.
2. Choose registration type — pick Tenderer / Bidder (not Procuring Entity).
3. Fill the firm information form with the exact legal name on your RJSC certificate, TIN, BIN, registered office address, and authorised signatory contact details. Common error: trade-name vs RJSC-name mismatch (the verifier compares character-by-character).
4. Upload documents in PDF, JPG, or PNG. Most fields cap at 1 MB. Common error: full-resolution colour scans of multi-page reports rejected silently — use 200 DPI black-and-white merged PDFs.
5. Set up authentication. The portal sends an OTP to the mobile number you provided. The authorised signatory must receive this OTP — not an admin assistant. After OTP verification, set a permanent password.
6. Wait for verification. CPTU typically verifies a complete and correct application within 5–7 working days. Your user ID arrives via email in the format BD-XXXXXXXXX where the X-portion derives from your TIN.

If verification takes longer than 10 working days, email support@cptu.gov.bd with your application reference. Phone support is available at the CPTU office (verify the current number on cptu.gov.bd before calling).

1. Trade Licence mismatch

Symptom: application sits in “Pending” for 10+ days, then rejected with no specific reason. Cause: faded trade-licence seal on scan, or expired licence, or issuing-authority name format. Fix: renewal slip + high- contrast scan, use the official issuing-authority name (e.g. “Dhaka North City Corporation” not “DNCC”).

2. TIN / BIN mismatch with RJSC

Rejected with “Tax records inconsistent with RJSC entry”. Usually because TIN was issued before a name change at RJSC. Fix: update TIN at the relevant tax circle to match current RJSC name (2–3 weeks).

3. Authorised signatory’s NID name format

NIDs issued before 2017 often include the patronymic. Use the exact name format on your NID — including the patronymic if it appears. The system does literal text comparison.

4. Bank Solvency Certificate too old

Rejected with “Bank document expired”. The Solvency Certificate must be issued within the last 3 months. Fix: request a fresh certificate (BDT 200–500 from most banks, 1–2 working days).

5. Audit Report missing fiscal year

Firms in their first or second fiscal year don’t have 3 years of audit reports. Contact CPTU directly — they issue a special category for newer firms with reduced requirements.

6. Photo file format / size

Photo upload step silently fails or shows broken image. Resize to 300×400 px, JPEG quality 80, ≤ 100 KB. Convert HEIC to JPEG before upload.

7. Authorised signatory phone unreachable

OTP step stalls. Use a Bangladesh-resident SIM in active use by the actual authorised signatory. OTP arrives within 30 seconds; if not, check spam folder and retry after 2 minutes.

Once your user ID is active, the next step is browsing active tenders. Filter by your work category, read the ITB (Instructions to Bidders) carefully — especially Section 3 (Eligibility), Section 4 (Schedule of Submission), and Section 5 (Evaluation Criteria). Verify the Tender Security amount (usually 2% of estimated cost). Check the Bid Validity period — you cannot withdraw your bid during this period without forfeiting the security.

TenderPulse takes the e-GP tender ZIP you download and turns it into:

• An eligibility verdict — does your firm match the ITB Section 3 criteria, with specific gaps highlighted
• A BOQ extraction with quantities, units, and our internal cost estimates
• A draft of Form Tech-1 through Tech-9 populated from your company profile
• A PPR 2008 compliance checkflagging any clause-level inconsistencies in the procuring entity’s tender

The aim is to compress what is currently 2–3 days of manual analysis into 3 minutes, while preserving the detail your eventual bid needs. If you have questions about your e-GP registration that this guide didn’t cover, email help@tenderpulse.com.bd.

How long does e-GP registration take from start to finish?

5–10 working days for a complete and correctly-formatted application. Plan for 2 weeks to be safe.

Can a foreign firm register?

Yes — foreign firms can register but require additional documents (Bangladesh Bank inward-remittance authorisation, RJSC foreign-investment registration). Process takes 4–6 weeks longer.

Is there a registration fee?

No — e-GP registration itself is free. Individual bid submissions carry tender-specific fees (typically BDT 1,000–5,000 depending on tender size).

Can I use the same e-GP user ID for multiple firms?

No — each user ID is tied to one TIN. Multiple firms need separate registrations.
