Event Details

What is the Asian Development Bank (ADB)? The ADB is an important multilateral partner for the UK, delivering a range of the UK's objectives and values across Asia and the Pacific (APAC). APAC governments have relied on the ADB for cost-effective project loans and quality-assured project delivery. The ADB procures goods, civil works, and consultancy services for its financed projects, with contracts open to international competitive tendering.


The UK holds a good winning record in consultancies with the ADB, averaging an annual export of £75M in ADB contracts since 2015. UK strengths complement ADB project needs in the sectors of transport, energy, education, and healthcare.
