Where tenders live
Government tenders aren’t secret — they’re published. Register on GHANEPS, watch PPA bulletins, and read each tender’s instructions twice before bidding.
- Public Procurement Authority (PPA)Regulator of public procurement; tender bulletins and standard documents.
- Ghana Electronic Procurement System (GHANEPS)The official e-procurement portal — register here to view and bid on live tenders.
- Jobs board (private-sector roles)Not a tender — but companies winning contracts hire here first.
Skill up
Courses that pay off
Free and low-cost programmes with real Ghanaian cohorts and certificates employers recognise.
- ALX AfricaTech programmes (software, data, cloud) with Ghana cohorts and flexible payment.
- Google Career CertificatesJob-ready certificates in IT support, data analytics, UX and project management.
- Coursera & edXUniversity courses you can audit free; financial aid available for certificates.

Rule of thumb: real scholarships and real tenders never ask for money to apply. Anyone demanding “processing fees” over WhatsApp is running a scam.
