As part of Bhutan’s ongoing accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Department of Trade (DoTr), Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Employment (MoICE), in collaboration with the WTO Secretariat, organized a technical workshop on the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA 2012) on 7 October 2026.

The workshop aimed to enhance stakeholders’ understanding of the GPA 2012, including its key principles and disciplines, scope and coverage, market access commitments, national treatment and non-discrimination requirements, transparency provisions, procurement procedures, and domestic review mechanisms.
The session was led by Ms. Marlena, Technical Assistance Officer, Intellectual Property, Government Procurement and Competition Policy Division, WTO Secretariat, Geneva, and brought together around 20 officials from relevant government procuring agencies, including the officials from the Gelephu Mindfulness City.

The workshop also provided an opportunity to discuss the potential benefits and policy implications of GPA participation, the role of the WTO Committee on Government Procurement, the accession process for prospective Parties, and the special and differential treatment and transitional measures available to developing countries.

The workshop forms part of Bhutan’s ongoing efforts to build institutional and technical capacity and facilitate informed consideration of the additional commitments arising in the context of Bhutan’s WTO accession negotiations.

Across the two-day conference, participants explored a range of topics, including:
