Monaqasat

Monaqasat (monaqasat.mof.gov.qa) is the unified state procurement platform, run by the finance ministry. It is one of the 10 sources the TRINTA registry maps for public tenders in Qatar.

No single source carries the whole market. Beside the named national channels, 8 more sources in Qatar publish their own notices, counted by category on the Qatar page. Watching one platform is not watching the market.

You can follow monaqasat.mof.gov.qa directly, or let a radar do it: TRINTA holds Monaqasat in its registry and activates it per client profile, beside the other sources in Qatar, and scores every notice 0 to 100 against your company's real catalogue, with the reasoning shown.

Any company that wants to take part in Qatar's government tenders: Monaqasat, the Ministry of Finance's procurement website, says companies wishing to participate must be classified. 1. Log in to Monaqasat through National Authentication and create the company profile; only the person authorised to sign in the commercial registry can create it. 2. The profile is free and is the first step for all local and foreign companies; the documents it lists are the commercial register, the commercial licence, the company establishment card and the audited budget for the last financial year. 3. Apply for classification, in the supplier and service provider sector or the contractor sector; an audited balance sheet is mandatory for it. 4. Buy the tender documents and submit the bid electronically on Monaqasat, which shows every government tender from announcement to award. 5. Attach the bid well before the closing time, 48 hours ahead, so technical support can help if something fails. Checked on 12 Oct 2026 against the official sources linked above. Procedures change, and each tender's own documents decide.

Government tenders are governed by Law No. (24) of 2015 regulating tenders and auctions, amended by Decree-Law No. (18) of 2018; its executive regulation is Council of Ministers Decision No. (16) of 2019. The law applies to ministries, other government bodies and public authorities and institutions; QatarEnergy and the Qatar Investment Authority are among the bodies outside it (article 2 of the issuing law).

Every bid carries a provisional guarantee, set in the announcement at no more than 5% of the estimated value; a bidder who does not provide it is excluded (regulation, article 18). It is a cheque accepted for payment or an unconditional, irrevocable bank guarantee from a local or approved bank, in the government body's name, valid for at least 120 days from the bid submission date (regulation, article 19). Bids stay valid for ninety days from the end of the submission period, and the committee may ask bidders to extend them by up to ten working days (regulation, article 26).

Bids are submitted in Arabic; the committee may exceptionally accept documents in another language with a summary translated into Arabic. Tender documents and contracts are drafted in Arabic or in English, an English text carrying an Arabic summary (regulation, article 9).

Tender terms and contracts with non-Qatari companies for works or services inside Qatar, consultancy excluded, oblige them to rely on the local market for at least 30% of the contract value (regulation, article 33). In tenders where local value applies, the award goes to the bid with the lowest financial result once the bidders' local value percentages are counted (regulation, article 47).

A bidder may challenge an award before the Disputes Settlement Committee within five working days from the day after the award is announced on the Unified Website of State Procurement (law, article 17 bis).
