Government Tenders in Cyprus.
Public procurement in Cyprus refers to the purchasing activities of the central government, semi-governmental organisations, municipalities, and other public bodies in the Republic of Cyprus. The Treasury of the Republic oversees procurement policy, and the e-Procurement system (ePPS) handles electronic tendering. Despite its small size, Cyprus generates significant procurement activity relative to GDP.
