About Contractor Registration


As mandated by the Financial Manual of 1988, the Construction Development Board (CDB) will establish and maintain the List of Registered Contractors.   Contractors will be divided into four categories of work, and registration will be based on their financial capacity, human resources, equipment and facilities, and track record.  The registration system is a process of formal pre-qualification and is not limited to a particular contract or project.   Proof of enrollment on the CDB Registration System will constitute a presumption of overall suitability and will qualify contractors to participate in the bidding of government projects.

Registration System

The Construction Development Board (CDB) has developed a Contractor Registration System based upon a classification and categorization of contractors.  Only licensed contractors shall be eligible for registration.  The registration of contractors, re-registration, upgrading, and any matters related to contractor registration shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the principles and procedures incorporated in the System.  

The purpose of the CDB Registration System is to maintain a list of qualified contractors for contracts of value up to Nu. ... million.   The system prevents the need for formal pre-qualifying of contractors, and therefore allows government contracts to be awarded and executed faster.   

All Ministries, Departments, Dzongkhags and their procuring agencies are required to use these registered contractors in the execution of government works. 

Please note that the registration system is only relevant for government construction works.   Contractors who only execute private construction projects do not need to be registered with the CDB.

Validity

A contractor who has been registered will be issued a Certificate of Registration (CTR08).  Renewal of the Certificate of Registration must be applied for within thirty (30) days of its expiration date.
