Water and sanitation tags outnumber energy across these three countries: Sri Lanka 101 vs 35, Pakistan 96 vs 29 and Bangladesh 65 vs 19 (some notices have both tags). Recent examples include heavy machinery and surveying equipment for flood-damage repairs in Sri Lanka, district sanitation schemes in Khyber, Pakistan, and irrigation hose and water bowsers in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh stands out for open opportunities: 53 invitations for bids against 32 awards in the period, nearly all under Request for Bids. Suppliers of pumps, pipes, vehicles and flood equipment should watch these three markets daily.
