How Public Procurement Works in Oman

Public buyers in Oman advertise the bulk of their contracts through the national tender-board e-tendering system. Domestic tendering follows the national public-procurement rules, while internationally-funded projects additionally apply the procurement guidelines of the financing institution. Tender documents are generally issued in Arabic, and contract values are denominated in the Omani rial (OMR). Tracking the national tender-board e-tendering system together with the multilateral and bilateral sources on BidsFactory gives the most complete view of the Oman market.
