Bangladesh Clean Air Project (P502572), financially supported by the World Bank, aims to strengthen air quality management and reduce emissions from the transport sector.
The project's procurement processes will adhere to the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations for Investment Projects Financing (IPF) Borrowers. It is planned that the procurement of inputs for the project realization will commence immediately following effectiveness of the project, expected by early Q2 FY 2026. In designing the Project Procurement Strategy for Development (PPSD), an emphasis has been placed on early stakeholder and market engagement to understand the market context and identify suitable suppliers, contractors, and consulting firms.
In view of the above, the Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority (DTCA) hereby invites interested private sector stakeholders and industry players (i.e. Suppliers, Contractors and Consulting Firms) working in the Transport Sector (especially in relation to electric buses, charging facility, and depot) to a Two-hour Consultation Meeting at 11:00 AM on 16 July 2025 (Wednesday) at the DTCA Conference Room no-805, Level-8, DTCA Bhaban, Love Road, Tejgaon, Dhaka-1208, by sending top management level representative who have good understanding of the market and its firm experience.

Note that the market engagement is relevant to Suppliers, Contractors and consultants who have experience in constructing / supplying / providing services with single contract value of US$ 1 million and above.
The objectives of the meeting are to relay general information on the project to private sector stakeholders, present details of the procurement components, including nature of the procurement, delivery models, market approach, expected procurement packages and implementation arrangements, and receive feedback from vendors on the suitability and sustainability of the proposed project design. The consultation is also to hear from the industry players as a process of market engagement and use the market information for project procurement strategy preparation.
We strongly encourage the potential Bidders (Suppliers, Contractors and Consulting Firms) working in the relevant domains of the transport sector to participate in this process and to use the meeting as an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments regarding this upcoming project procurement opportunity. Interested companies are requested to send only one representative per organization.
