@BD_Africa That's how public spending travels: the government pays the contractor, the contractor buys trucks. Development bank projects work the same way. On World Bank financed contracts the borrowing government buys under the Bank's rules, and tenders are open to firms from any country.

UNDP Tanzania, RFP UNDP-TZA-00441. In scope for private investment: cold storage, ice production, a fish auction and market. Deadline: 9 Nov, 04:00 New York time (14:30 IST) asktender.org/tender/1276084… UNDP: procurement-notices.undp.org/view_negotiati…

Port and infrastructure consultancies, a UN brief: For you if you cover environmental and social, climate resilience, economic and financial analysis, and private sector structuring for a fishing port. Not for you if you planned on Pemba. Chuini, Zanzibar only. Closes 9 Nov.

Full brief and eligibility details: asktender.org/tender/810409/… UNDP reference: UNDP-MWI-00994

Run an accelerator or SME support programme? A live UN brief in three questions: Who's buying? UNDP Malawi. What? A firm to manage its Growth Accelerator challenges and Green Economic Transition Facility. Long term agreement. By when? 30 Oct, 4 AM New York time.

UNDP says the EOI will identify suppliers for a forthcoming solicitation. Responses go in online via its Quantum supplier portal (ref UNDP-HQ-02334). Details: asktender.org/tender/956222/… Official notice: procurement-notices.undp.org/view_negotiati…

EOI (n.): Expression of Interest. A buyer asking "who wants to bid?" before the full tender goes out. Live example: UNDP HQ wants EOIs for a Learning Experience Platform for its global learning ecosystem. Deadline: 26 Oct, 2 PM New York time. Software firms: hands up?

@kunmigbenga Knowing your numbers also shows which buyers are worth chasing. One market businesses overlook: World Bank financed government projects. The ministry buys under the Bank's rules, and each project's procurement notice flags what's coming. Guide: asktender.org/guides/how-to-…

@EconomicTimes Worth pairing the VAT reset with procurement: under the India UAE CEPA, Indian suppliers get equal treatment in UAE federal tenders above SDR 134,000 for goods and services. But it covers 41 federal bodies, not Dubai, Abu Dhabi or ADNOC. What's in scope: asktender.org/ae/guides/indi…

A Catalan town needs legionella control. Buyer: Ayuntamiento de la Roca del Vallès, Spain Need: legionella prevention service, 2 years Closes: 13 Nov, 14:00 CET Who could bid: water-hygiene firms Follow for a live contract like this every day.

@askwhykartik An 11th that compounds: public buyers. Universities, hospitals and city councils publish software and digital briefs with a deadline. No cold DM needed; the brief is the invitation. One won contract also becomes a case study the next buyer trusts.

Scope and bidder requirements: asktender.org/ie/tenders/109… Official notice TED 711056-2026: ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/de… Confirm the closing time with the buyer: the portal shows 17:00 without a time zone.

Environmental trainers: South Kerry needs a practical course for local communities. Seed saving, tree planting and invasive species, with field trips. Est. €25,000 excluding VAT. Closes: 2 Nov, 17:00 UTC+1 (as stated in TED). Check the RFT before bidding.

@HopeRemy One client pool worth adding: international public buyers. UN agencies post opportunities on UNGM, and World Bank financed projects advertise consultant contracts openly. The scope and deadline are public, which makes the first step clearer.

@clientascension Phase 2 has a quieter version: public buyers. Councils, hospitals and universities publish what they need, the budget and the deadline. It's the only lead list where the prospect writes the brief and tells you when to send it.

@MSEA_Kenya Alongside export markets, Kenyan firms should check AGPO. It reserves procurement opportunities for eligible youth, women and PWD owned businesses. Get the AGPO certificate, then check each tender’s requirements. The certificate opens the door; it doesn’t replace a bid.

Eine Kundengruppe fehlt in der Rechnung: öffentliche Auftraggeber. Auch für KI-Agenturen können IT-Ausschreibungen ein Akquisekanal sein. Der erste Filter: Passen Leistungsbeschreibung, Eignungsanforderungen und Referenzen zum eigenen Angebot? Ein großer Markt allein reicht nicht.

@JCarhire I'd separate extensions from emergencies. Put extension requests, notice and rates in the booking terms; keep a clearly marked urgent line for breakdowns or accidents. Less routine admin at 3am, without making clients hesitate when something is genuinely wrong.

@adeniyi_goke That's a sensible boundary. I'd put both options on the quote, separating product warranty from workmanship and naming who handles each claim. Give the customer something clear to agree to before the job, and you have a record if the referral conversation gets muddled.

@benjaminakar I'd price the switch on your actual sales mix: international-card fees, payout FX, refunds and chargebacks. Then test local currency/payment methods and successful checkouts. Compare net revenue per visitor, not just the headline %. What countries drive most sales?
