The Export Development Board (EDB) under the purview of the Industry and Entrepreneurship Development Ministry has called for Request for Proposals (RFPs) to appoint a professional service provider to revamp its website and execute a digital marketing campaign aimed at strengthening the global visibility of Sri Lanka’s ICT sector.
The selected service provider will be expected to bring expertise in website development and digital marketing, with the procurement designed to attract firms with both domestic and international project experience.
The procurement will be conducted under the National Competitive Bidding (NCB), Single Stage Two Envelope procedure specified under the National Procurement Guidelines 2024, and is open to eligible
bidders.
The move comes as Sri Lanka seeks to strengthen its positioning as an ICT and digital services destination and improve international visibility of its technology capabilities.
It also highlights an effort to place the country’s ICT capabilities on a more visible digital platform, combining targeted international marketing rather than relying solely on traditional export
promotion.
Eligibility requirements set a minimum bar of three years’ experience in website development and digital marketing solutions, including at least one year of international project experience.
Prospective service providers must also demonstrate experience in at least two similar website development projects involving content enhancement and maintenance, as well as two similar digital marketing projects, undertaken within the past five years.
Bidders will be required to submit a certified copy of their business registration and audited financial statements for the preceding three years. Firms that have been blacklisted will not be eligible for the contract.
The EDB has set 29 September 2026 as the deadline for submission of bids, with late submissions to be rejected.
A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. on 21 September at the EDB, with all interested bidders invited to participate.
