Government tenders in Saudi Arabia: where they are published.
Saudi Arabia centralised public buying on Etimad, the finance ministry platform where government tenders are published, documents are bought and bids are submitted. TRINTA maps 13 Saudi sources in total: the platform, plus the agencies and health buyers that keep their own channels beside it.
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, 12 more sources in Saudi Arabia 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.
Centralisation moved the problem rather than removing it. Etimad publishes at national scale, in Arabic, on deadlines that do not wait. For an outside supplier the hard part is not finding the platform, it is reading what it publishes every day and knowing which procedures fit.
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 Saudi Arabia rarely sells only in Saudi Arabia.
