Can a new company bid for government tenders immediately?
Not the day you incorporate. You need MOF registration (and CIDB registration with an appropriate grade for construction work) before bidding, and those require an operating entity with a bank account, matching activity codes and tax compliance. Some tenders additionally specify track record, financial standing or Bumiputera status.

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.
