Foreign aid is on the verge of experiencing major budget cuts that could change the concept of development as the world currently knows it. When the biggest international aid donors slash their budgets, stakeholders must quickly adapt and develop new funding strategies to be able to continue their missions. At DevelopmentAid, we know exactly how vital it is for organizations to promptly address turbulent changes and this is why, from today, our members will benefit from access to millions of government tenders from all over the world through a unique AI-powered platform. At no additional cost.
Why explore government contracts and public procurement?
In the context of funding shortages, innovative financing strategies are an important tool in the response arsenal that is available to aid sector stakeholders. ‘Innovative financing’, as defined by the World Bank, represents non-traditional financial tools that involve new instruments, technologies, institutions, and markets. Thus, instruments such as government contracts, impact bonds, blended finance, and pay-for-results models can be considered to be alternative funding to traditional models and these are currently gaining traction. In this framework, government contracts or public procurement are particularly interesting as an alternative funding option as they provide access to a relatively stable stream of highly lucrative contracts.
DevelopmentAid opens a new door for members
As the world’s premier information service provider for the international development sector, DevelopmentAid has been helping NGOs, consultancies, and individual experts to navigate the world of the international development sector for over 17 years.

Who can bid for government-funded contracts?
Public or government procurement is an essential pillar of public service delivery and refers to the purchase of goods, services, and works by governments, local authorities, or state-owned enterprises. Generally speaking, anyone interested in doing business with a government can bid for government-funded contracts.
However, it is important to consider that local, national, or supranational (e.g., European Union) public procurement follows a set of strict procurement rules that govern the way in which public authorities engage in public procurement. Note that opportunities published on Tenderwell display downloadable bid-related documents and links to original sources. Moreover, in the Newsroom section of the Tenderwell platform, users will find a plethora of useful articles to enable the understanding of core contract types and how to avoid failure when submitting tenders.
