Tender platformsAfricaCOSSIL
COSSIL, Portal de Contratos Públicos
Mapped in the TRINTA registry, activated per client profile
The public contracts portal coordinated by COSSIL. Knowing the platform is step one. The market in Sao Tome and Principe runs across 6 mapped sources, and the difference between watching COSSIL and watching the market is the subject of this page.
The market around it, Sao Tome and Principe
COSSIL is one of the named national channels in Sao Tome and Principe. Beside them, 4 more sources publish their own notices; they are counted by category on the country page, never listed, because the complete source map is what sets the radar apart.
Opening 6 pages every morning is feasible for a week, not for a commercial year. That is the cost this fragmentation imposes on every supplier that takes the market seriously.
What TRINTA does with it
COSSIL is mapped in the TRINTA registry and activates per client profile. 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.
