Project Procurement: ADB procurement guidelines allow joint ventures (JV) and consortia to participate in ADB-funded projects or programs. In some cases, large ADB projects may require mandatory JV and associations between various firms.
 

Large projects and programs encourage and sometimes require associations between consultants in the form of JV or sub-consultancy agreement to conduct project preparatory technical assistance, advisory technical assistance, capacity development technical assistance, or regional technical assistance. Interested consultants must register in ADB’s Consultants Management System (CMS) (https://uxdmz06.adb.org/OA_HTML/adb/adbpos/jsp/ADBCMSLogin.jsp) to participate in consulting opportunities.
