The Government of the Republic of Zambia uses an e-procurement system for most government contracts to buy goods, works, and consultancy services. Some contracts are awarded through single source without following tender procedures.  In addition, the government also uses the World Bank Group’s public-private-partnership in infrastructure resource center for infrastructure procurements.

Many governments finance public works projects through borrowing from multilateral development banks.  For more information please refer to the project financing section in Trade and

Project Financing.
