2merkato Tenders

The biggest buyer of goods and services in Ethiopia is the government. NGO's, International Organisations such as the UN, etc too buy a great deal of goods and services. The government and the other organizations float tenders and bids (chereta) on newspapers and on platforms such as 2merkato.com. It costs a lot of time, money and manpower to sift through all the tender/bid notices published and find the ones that are relevant to you. It is very likely that the person who does the checking might miss some notices.

2merkato has been providing a solution that cut the time it takes and cost of participating in tenders substantially. For a long time, our service has been limited to the web. Now you can enjoy our service on your phone through our app.
