There have been discussions in Bahrain about mandating e-invoicing since 2022. In May 2023, the Bahrain Tender Board released an RFP (Request for Proposals) seeking a technology vendor that can assist in designing, implementing, operating, and maintaining Bahrain’s e-invoicing system. Bahrain is likely to implement a CTC model for the e-invoicing mandate, where B2B invoices must be cleared and approved by the tax authorities before being sent to customers.

Applicants must have experience in leading large IT projects for tax authorities, as well as the ability to deliver all functional and technical requirements as outlined in the tender documents. Applicants who wish to bid should follow the instructions on the tender page.
