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.

PanamaCompra

The national procurement portal, run by the DGCP, where public entities publish their procedures.

And everything that publishes beside them

Beyond the national channels, 5 more sources in Panama 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.

1public agencies and institutions publishing directly

State companies are usually the most regular buyers in the country. Following them separately is not a detail: a share of the addressable market never touches the national portal at all.

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 153+ countries and 1,539 mapped official platforms, plus the multilateral lenders. A company selling in Panama rarely sells only in Panama.
