Why the diaspora misses public tenders
Distance creates a structural disadvantage. Here are the 3 obstacles SangoBids removes.
Tenders expire while you sleep
A tender published in Abidjan in the morning can have a tight deadline. From Paris, you often find out too late.
Competitors on the ground get the information before you
Local firms check the DGMP daily. Without automated monitoring, you start at a disadvantage.
Middlemen aren't reliable
Entrusting monitoring to a third party on the ground? Risk of missed notices, delays, or incomplete information.

Frequently asked questions — Diaspora
Can I bid on a public tender from France?
Yes. Most public tenders in Ivory Coast are open to foreign companies or diaspora entrepreneurs with a locally registered business. Some contracts require a local partner — SangoBids helps you identify those requirements.
How is SangoBids different from checking the official portal myself?
SangoBids aggregates DGMP, Banque Mondiale, BAD, BCEAO & UNGM automatically and sends you SMS, WhatsApp and email alerts the moment a tender matching your criteria is published. No more checking manually — especially across time zones.
Do SMS alerts work with a French number?
Yes — SMS alerts work with French (+33), Belgian (+32), Swiss (+41), Canadian (+1) and all international numbers. WhatsApp and email work everywhere.
How much does it cost?
Signing up is free and includes a weekly email digest. Paid plans (from 5,000 FCFA/month) add daily SMS alerts, AI document analysis, and bid tracking.
Do I need a company back home to bid?
It depends on the contract. Many international tenders in Ivory Coast accept foreign companies. For national contracts, you often need a local entity or a local partner. SangoBids flags the contract type (national/international) in every alert.
Your competitors in Ivory Coast see tenders before you.
