Procurement in Taiwan is governed by both government regulations and private sector practices. The government, being a major purchaser, follows a structured bidding process regulated by the Government Procurement Act, with opportunities posted on official platforms. Private sector procurement is driven by industries such as manufacturing, retail, and technology, with purchasing through direct channels, online platforms, or long-term supplier relationships.
Key Procurement Channels:
Government Procurement: Managed through the Government e-Procurement System, offering tenders for sectors like infrastructure, IT, and healthcare.
Private Sector Procurement: Involves direct purchases, B2B marketplaces (e.g., Taiwantrade), and industry partnerships.
Trade Associations: Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), Taiwantrade and other trade associations help businesses navigate procurement opportunities. TAITRA https://www.taitra.org.tw/en/Default.aspx
