IMPORTANT: FreeTender is an independent, privately operated service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, authorised by or acting on behalf of any government, government agency, public body, development bank or United Nations organisation. It is not an official government app, and nothing in it is an official government publication.

The tender and grant notices shown in FreeTender are copied from the official procurement portals listed below. Each notice in the app also names its own source and links to the original notice page, or to the official portal that published it where the notice page cannot be opened directly.

WHAT THE APP DOES
FreeTender lets you search open tenders, RFPs, RFQs, EOIs and grant calls by keyword, sector, country, notice type and deadline. You can read the notice text, open its attached documents, and follow the link to the issuing authority's own portal to apply. You can choose which notices your home screen shows, get push notifications when matching notices are published, keep a shortlist, browse by world map or by funder, and read plain-English guides on how tendering works.
WHO IT IS FOR
Contractors and suppliers looking for public and private contracts. NGOs and nonprofits looking for grant funding and calls for proposals. Consultants bidding for assignments with UN agencies and development banks.
WHAT THE APP IS NOT
It is a discovery tool, not an e-procurement system. Bids cannot be submitted through it. It does not handle payments, EMD or Digital Signature Certificates, and it cannot register you with any buyer. You apply on the buyer's own portal.
VERIFY BEFORE YOU BID
Deadlines, documents and requirements can change after publication. Always open the original notice on the official source and confirm the details there before preparing or submitting a bid.
FREE TO USE
Browsing, searching, alerts and notifications are free. The app shows ads to fund the service.
