What Piganwa is

Piganwa connects procuring entities (public bodies, companies and NGOs that buy goods, works and services) with bidders (suppliers that compete for those contracts). It runs on the website piganwa.rw and in the Piganwa app for Android.

What you can do

• Without an account: browse every open tender, read its requirements, deadlines and documents.
• As a bidder: prepare a bid, pay the tender and bid fees, submit a sealed bid and follow it until the award.
• As a procuring entity: publish tenders, receive sealed bids, open them on the opening date, evaluate and award.

Why bids are sealed

Every bid stays sealed until the opening date. Nobody, not even the buyer or Piganwa staff, can see a price or a document before then. At the opening, all bids are opened together, so every bidder is treated the same.

Two people for important decisions

Publishing a tender, signing off an evaluation and confirming an award each need a second person in the buying organisation. Every step is recorded so it can be checked later.

Piganwa is run by Polyserve Ltd.
