Open Procurement
What is it?

Open Procurement is a set of tools designed to optimize the procurement processes for goods and services for public and private entities. It facilitates the publication of tenders and supplier participation through an accessible and transparent system, promoting competition and efficiency in contracting. The tool includes a business process management engine and an API, enabling interaction with front-end platforms. It also supports the Open Procurement Data Standard (OCDS), which improves the presentation and accessibility of procurement process information, contributing to transparency and the fight against corruption.

What problems does it solve?

OpenProcurement solves the problem of the lack of transparency and efficiency in public procurement processes. It facilitates tender management through a secure and accessible system that allows public and private entities to advertise and manage the procurement of goods and services in an open and transparent manner.

How does the tool work?

OpenProcurement is an open-source toolkit designed for goods and services procurement processes. It works through a business process management (BPM) engine and an API, which allow front-end platforms to interact and facilitate supplier access to the auction module for participating in auctions.

Open standards

The OpenProcurement tool uses the OCDS (Open Contracting Data Standard), developed by the Open Contracting Partnership. This standard promotes interoperability and transparency of data in procurement processes, facilitating access to information and helping to combat corruption.
