Government tenders in Uruguay: where they are published.
Uruguay's procurement map has two halves: Compras Estatales, the state portal run by ARCE, and 5 state-owned enterprises, from the fuels company to the water utility and the state bank, that publish llamados on their own sites. Watching one half of the map means seeing half the market.
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, 6 more sources in Uruguay 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.
- 5state-owned enterprises publishing their own notices
- 1regional, state and municipal buyers with their own portals
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 170+ countries and 1,627 mapped official platforms, plus the multilateral lenders. A company selling in Uruguay rarely sells only in Uruguay.
