The Central Bidder Database is a comprehensive registry of pre-qualified bidders, designed to streamline and enhance the procurement process in Namibia by providing procuring entities with quick access to credible and vetted business profiles.

Registering on the Central Bidder Database increases your visibility to potential buyers, provides access to numerous tender opportunities, and ensures that your company information is accessible to both public and private sector buyers.

While registering on the Central Bidder Database increases your visibility and credibility, it does not guarantee that you will secure contracts. It enhances your chances by ensuring your profile is seen by multiple procuring entities.

Although all profile listings will appear in the search results the paid profiles will be featured, therefore appearing on the top of the search results.

There is no official agreement with the government yet, but we will make the database available to them. This is the first step in our effort to transform how government procures.

You should update your profile regularly to ensure it remains accurate and current. Each profile lasts for 12 months, and you can refresh your profile as you obtain new documents or additional references.

Both featured and verified profiles appear at the top of search results. However, a verified profile means that UTS has confirmed the bidder's experience and accomplishments, ensuring that the bidder is trustworthy for suppliers. This saves potential buyers from having to verify the bidder’s credentials themselves.

You will need to provide various documents, including: Business registration document from BIPA Identity documents of all company owners Tax Registration certificate from NamRA Registration as an Employer with the Social Security Commission and a current list of employees Affirmative Action Compliance certificate Other documents as specified in the Full List of Required Documents.
