The national channels

These are the public, national-level sources: anyone can find them in one search. They carry a large share of the notices, not all of them.

And everything that publishes beside them

Beyond the national channels, 3 more sources in Guatemala publish their own notices. We count them by category without naming them: the complete source map is what sets the radar apart, and it is not published.

  • 2public agencies and institutions publishing directly
  • 1health buyers, hospitals and medical purchasing agencies

The national system carries most of the volume, but the buyers that publish beside it are not a detail: the social security institute posts its acquisition events on its own site, and a watch that stops at the national system misses them.

What TRINTA does on this market

TRINTA reads these sources every day so the company does not have to. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, then scores every notice 0 to 100 against what the company actually sells, with the reasoning shown. Procedure documents are retrieved and attached, and a short scored list arrives each morning.

The same radar covers 170+ countries and 1,627 mapped official platforms, plus the multilateral lenders. A company selling in Guatemala rarely sells only in Guatemala.
