The role of Directorate General Defence Purchase (DGDP) is to support the procurement system of the Bangladesh Armed Forces. We work collaboratively with Services Headquarters, suppliers, and other key stakeholders to achieve our common procurement goals. Over the years, we have continuously evolved our procurement system to be more dynamic, transparent, and accountable. We promote open dialogue and collaboration among all stakeholders, enabling us to address pertinent issues and challenges together.
