## Can a new company bid for government tenders immediately?

Last updated: 14 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

Incorporation alone does not establish eligibility for a government tender. Check the particular notice for registration, supply category, construction credentials, financial standing, track record and any Bumiputera conditions. ePerolehan also has a basic-account route for eligible small purchases; do not confuse those purchases with an unrestricted right to tender.

Realistic sequencing from a standing start: incorporate, open the bank account, register with LHDN, then apply for MOF or CIDB — weeks, not days. We map that timeline against the tender calendar you're aiming at.

### Key facts

- Eligibility depends on the procurement notice and registration route
- Basic-account purchases and tenders have different requirements
- Incorporation age alone does not establish eligibility
