Operational Procurement Database (2014 - 2024)

Procurement by nationality presents the list of all goods, works and consulting services contracts awarded by nationality of the contractors, suppliers and consultants. Nationality corresponds to the place of incorporation or the location of the head office (center of administration) of the contractor. In the case where the supplier/contractor is a subsidiary of an international corporation, the subsidiary's place of incorporation should be used to determine the nationality of the contractor which should still be an ADB member, unless a waiver to procure from non-members has been secured. For consulting services, the home office of the consulting firm would be the country of procurement of the services. In case of a joint venture, the nationality of the lead firm representing the joint venture or associations serves as the nationality. In case of an individual, the nationality is as indicated in the passport and the consultant registration.

Procurement by origin presents the details of procurement by origin of goods and services. Origin of goods is the place where the goods have been mined, grown, cultivated produced, manufactured, or processed (or through manufacture, processing, or assembly, another commercially recognized article results that differs substantially in its basic characteristics from its imported components). In case of works, consulting and other services, it is the nationality, or the place of incorporation, of the service provider. The origin should also be an ADB member.
