FIEO unveils platform for Indian exporters’ global procurement access
The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) unveiled Global Tender Services (GTS) a platfrom aimed at expanding the global footprint of Indian exporters, especially MSMEs. Developed and managed by FIEO, GTS is now live on the Indian Trade Portal, India’s one-stop platform for trade-related intelligence and facilitation.
GTS is a subscription-based, real-time tender aggregation platform providing Indian businesses with access to over 15,000 live international tenders daily, sourced from 8,000+ verified channels across 150+ countries. From major development banks to government agencies, PPP bodies, multilateral institutions, and global corporations, GTS connects Indian exporters directly with procurement opportunities previously scattered, obscure, or difficult to access.
GTS spans a broad spectrum of high-opportunity sectors — including infrastructure, IT, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, defence, renewable energy, agriculture, food products, consulting, finance, and more. It sources opportunities from reputed entities such as the World Bank, ADB, UNICEF, USAID, and various national and sub-national procurement bodies globally — ensuring exporters receive only credible and actionable leads.
With smart filters, sector and region-specific dashboards, and AI-powered search capabilities, GTS enables users to track, shortlist, and act on global tender opportunities with speed and precision. It is designed not just to inform, but to empower, reducing the cost and complexity of global bidding, and substantially improving success rates.
The launch of GTS assumes special significance as India deepens its engagement in international trade negotiations, particularly under the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). For the first time, India has opened up its Government Procurement sector under a bilateral trade agreement, a major policy shift that also grants Indian businesses reciprocal access to UK Government procurement opportunities.
In this evolving landscape, GTS becomes more than a digital service; it becomes a strategic tool. As India negotiates similar provisions with other trade partners, Indian exporters will need robust, real-time visibility into overseas procurement systems. GTS positions them to leverage emerging government tenders globally, navigate complex bidding ecosystems, and align with evolving trade commitments.
Commenting on the launch, Ajay Sahai, Director General & CEO of FIEO, said, “Launching GTS on Dhanteras is symbolic of new beginnings and prosperity. This is not just a platform — it’s a gateway to the world for Indian exporters. By unlocking access to global tenders, GTS empowers our businesses to compete internationally with agility, confidence, and precision. This marks a significant step in reshaping India’s export strategy for the digital, data-driven era.”
