BDC Opens Supplier Registration for Citizen-Owned Companies

BDC Opens Supplier Registration for Citizen-Owned Companies. The Botswana Development Corporation (BDC) has officially announced an Invitation for Expression of Interest (EOI) for the registration of wholly citizen-owned suppliers and service providers. The registration will give qualifying businesses an opportunity to be considered for inclusion in the BDC supplier database for a two-year period.

The call is open to both new and existing suppliers, with BDC emphasizing that companies currently providing goods and services to the organisation are also required to register. Failure to do so will result in exclusion from future invitations to quote when procurement opportunities arise.

For local entrepreneurs, this supplier registration presents a direct gateway into doing business with one of Botswana’s leading investment arms. By entering the supplier database, businesses gain access to upcoming opportunities that could strengthen their presence in key sectors, from office supplies and IT services to maintenance, logistics, and other support services.

BDC has made it clear that the submission process will be conducted exclusively online through its supplier registration portal, with no physical or email submissions allowed. All expressions of interest must be completed by 10 October 2025 at 12:00hrs, after which late applications will not be considered.

The Corporation has also reserved the right to reject applications or cancel the process entirely, underscoring the importance of complete and accurate submissions. Only vendors who provide all required information will be successfully entered into the database.

Entrepreneurs interested in the opportunity can visit the official BDC website for more details or contact the Procurement Office directly for enquiries.
