Every year, Zambian government agencies, local authorities, and parastatals award billions of Kwacha in contracts for goods, works, services, and consultancy. But here is the hard truth: if your company is not registered on the Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) platform, you cannot even submit a bid for most public tenders in Zambia.
The e-GP system, administered by the Zambia Public Procurement Authority (ZPPA), was introduced to increase transparency, reduce corruption, and streamline how public contracts are awarded. For suppliers, it is the gateway to government business. For those who ignore it, it is a locked door.
This guide walks you through the entire e-GP registration process — what documents you need, how long it takes, common mistakes that delay approval, and what to do once you are registered. By the end, you will know exactly how to get your company onto the system and start bidding.
