Kathmandu, December 15 — Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has invited applications for the prequalification of bidders for the designing, minting, supply, and delivery of Nepalese coins and related services. Issuing an Invitation for Prequalification (IFP) on December 15, 2025, the central bank said the process will be conducted under IFP No. NRB/COIN/PQ/01/082/83.
According to the notice, NRB has allocated funds from its own resources for the procurement and will prequalify eligible firms for a period of two years or one complete cycle of designing, minting, supply, and delivery of each coin denomination in circulation. The prequalification process is open to applicants from all countries and will be carried out in accordance with the criteria specified in the prequalification documents.
Interested firms may obtain further information and inspect the documents at NRB offices during working hours. A complete set of prequalification documents in English can be purchased from the Currency Management Department in Thapathali or the Mint Division in Babarmahal, Kathmandu, or obtained through secure email upon written request and payment of a non-refundable fee. The cost of the document has been set at NPR 15,000 or USD 105 or Euro 91 or GBP 80, depending on the bid currency.
Applications must be submitted by hand or courier to the Currency Management Department, Thapathali, Kathmandu, by 12:00 noon (Nepal Standard Time) on January 29, 2026. Applications received after the deadline will be rejected. The submitted applications will be opened at 1:00 PM on the same day in the presence of applicants or their authorized representatives, though NRB reserves the right to proceed in their absence.
NRB has also scheduled a pre-application submission meeting at its Currency Management Department on January 8, 2026, at 11:00 AM. If any of the specified dates fall on a public holiday, the next working day will apply. The central bank has clarified that blacklisted firms, institutions, or companies—including those formed or operated by blacklisted directors or investors—will not be eligible to participate.
The bank further stated that application forms must be duly filled, with each page signed by an authorized person and affixed with the company seal. All information submitted will be treated as confidential and will not be returned. NRB reserves the right to accept or reject any or all applications without assigning any reason, and the names of prequalified applicants will be made public.
