Government tenders in Romania: where they are published.
Romania publishes public procurement through SEAP, the national electronic system also known as SICAP, with ONAC, the central purchasing body, running framework procedures and the commodities exchange handling auction-based buying. Beside those channels, state companies, the railway and the energy operators among them, publish notices on their own sites. TRINTA maps 6 Romanian sources. Above the EU thresholds, Romanian notices also appear on TED, the Tenders Electronic Daily, which TRINTA reads every day.
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 Romania 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.
- 3state-owned enterprises publishing their own notices
State companies are the trap in the Romanian map: the railway, the pipeline operator and the electricity TSO publish part of their buying on their own pages, on their own rhythm, while the watch stays on SICAP.
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 Romania rarely sells only in Romania.
Frequently asked questions
01Where are public tenders in Romania published?
Public tenders in Romania are published across 6 sources TRINTA has mapped. The national channels are SEAP, the electronic system at e-licitatie.ro also known as SICAP, ONAC, the central purchasing body, and the Bursa Romana de Marfuri, the commodities exchange running procurement auctions. Beyond those, 3 state-owned enterprises publish their own notices. Above the EU thresholds, notices also appear on TED, the Tenders Electronic Daily.
02What does ONAC centralize in Romanian procurement?
ONAC, the Oficiul National pentru Achizitii Centralizate, buys centrally for a wide range of Romanian public institutions: it runs framework agreements and market consultations, from office supplies to medical equipment emergency stocks, and publishes those procedures and communications on its own site. For a supplier, ONAC's framework calendar is a market of its own, moving on different dates from the SICAP flow.
