What this means for equipment suppliers and bidders
This notice has closed and is kept here as a procurement record. It still shows which agency funds poultry work in this market, the scope they buy and the pace of their tender cycle — useful when positioning for the next package. HatchMatch reads the scope, maps it to a concrete equipment package (housing, feeding, drinking, ventilation, climate, hatchery or feed mill) and matches qualified manufacturers who have supplied comparable projects in the region.
World Bank poultry procurement runs through the borrowing government's project implementation unit, not through the Bank itself. Notices are published as Specific Procurement Notices under a named project (livestock development, agri-food value chain, resilience programmes) and follow the Bank's Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers. Goods packages for poultry are usually procured through Request for Bids with international competition above the country threshold.
