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 ยฃ75M in ADB contracts since 2015. UK strengths complement ADB project needs in the sectors of transport, energy, education, and healthcare.
