CIDB e-Tender & N3C

Tier A ยท Listed

Tender notices from Malaysia's construction industry regulator, CIDB

The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) registers Malaysian contractors in grades G1 to G7. Its website posts tender notices among its announcements, such as rail station walkway and park-and-ride works notices in May 2026, and links to a separate e-Tender system at eiklan.cidb.gov.my. A further CIDB page lists overseas project opportunities under its international mission programme.

Pros

  • + Run by the construction industry's statutory registration body
  • + Tender notices on CIDB's site are open to read without logging in
  • + CIDB publishes its contractor registration fees for each grade

Cons

  • โˆ’ The e-Tender site (eiklan.cidb.gov.my) did not load when checked on 30 September 2026
  • โˆ’ Notices are posted as images among general announcements, with little detail in text
  • โˆ’ Overseas listings page shows old entries, one closing in December 2019
  • โˆ’ Not a tender-alert or search service

Malaysia note

Contractors register and check their grade through CIDB's CIMS system. CIDB also says a levy of 0.125% applies to construction contracts worth more than RM500,000.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Tender notices free to read. CIDB contractor registration: RM20 (G1) to RM1,400 (G7), plus a RM50 processing fee for new registration or re-registration (RM30 for renewals), per CIDB.

ePerolehan (Government eProcurement)

Tier A ยท Listed

The Malaysian federal government's online procurement system for goods and services

ePerolehan is the Government of Malaysia's official online procurement system, launched in 2000 under the MSC Electronic Government initiative and developed under the purview of the Ministry of Finance. Commerce Dot Com, which the government appointed to develop and operate it, says it covers federal procurement of goods and services from supplier registration and quotation requests through to contracts and payment.

Pros

  • + Official federal government procurement system, developed under the Ministry of Finance
  • + Quotations, purchasing, contract management and payment in one system, per its operator
  • + Operator Commerce Dot Com runs service centres and a training portal for users

Cons

  • โˆ’ Federal government procurement only, per its operator; other buyers advertise elsewhere
  • โˆ’ Suppliers must register before taking part; current fees not confirmed here
  • โˆ’ A procurement system, not a tender-alert service

Malaysia note

Operated by Commerce Dot Com for the Government of Malaysia under an outsourcing model. Supplier registration, the registration guide and the supplier FAQ are on the ePerolehan portal; works contractors should also check each tender's CIDB grade requirements.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Not confirmed: check current supplier registration fees on the ePerolehan portal.
