The Oman Tender Board is the government body responsible for public procurement. The board manages tender processes for government ministries and supervises procurement across the public sector.

The board handles procurement for government ministries and public entities. Oman has opportunities in infrastructure, oil/gas services, tourism development, and diversification projects under Vision 2040.
