GeBIZ Singapore Government Tenders

What is GeBIZ?

GeBIZ (Government Electronic Business) is Singapore's centralised e-procurement portal for the entire public sector. Every Singapore government ministry, statutory board, and organ of state uses GeBIZ to publish tenders and manage procurement.

Launched in 2000, GeBIZ was one of the world's earliest comprehensive government e-procurement systems. It remains a model of efficient, transparent public procurement.

Who runs it?

GeBIZ is operated by the Ministry of Finance and managed by the Government Technology Agency (GovTech). It's part of Singapore's broader digital government infrastructure.

The platform serves all Singapore government entities, providing unified publication, supplier management, and contract administration.

What contracts are published?

GeBIZ covers all public sector procurement:

Goods: IT equipment, office supplies, vehicles, medical equipment
Services: Consulting, IT services, facilities management, professional services
Works: Construction, infrastructure, maintenance

All government procurement above S$6,000 is published on GeBIZ, making coverage comprehensive.

Supplier registration

To participate in Singapore government procurement, you need:

GeBIZ Trading Partner (GTP) registration
Valid business registration
SingPass/CorpPass for authentication

The Singapore procurement environment

Singapore is known for efficient, transparent procurement:
