What is IUB (Latvia's Procurement Monitoring Bureau)?

The Procurement Monitoring Bureau (IUB, Iepirkumu uzraudzības birojs) is the Latvian state institution that oversees public procurement. It ensures transparency and monitors that procurements follow the rules.

What IUB does

• Ensures procurement notices are published and publicly available.
• Monitors how public procurements are run and whether the rules are followed.
• Reviews complaints about procurement procedures.
• Compiles statistics and provides methodological support to buyers and suppliers.

Where to find procurement data

Procurement notices and contract-award results are public. On top of this data you can analyse the market — which buyers announce tenders, which companies win and for how much.

What to do in a dispute

If a supplier believes its rights were breached in a procedure, it may — in the cases and time limits set by law — submit a complaint to IUB for review. Deadlines matter.

From data to opportunities

IUB data shows what has already happened. To catch new opportunities in time, tender monitoring by sector and keyword helps.
