How SERCOP Procurement Works

Public buyers across Ecuador advertise the bulk of their contracts through the Servicio Nacional de Contratación Pública (compraspublicas.gob.ec). Tender documents are issued in Spanish, and SERCOP carries notices from central government down to local agencies. Because internationally-funded projects in Ecuador may additionally follow a financier's procurement rules, tracking SERCOP together with development-bank sources on BidsFactory gives the most complete view of the market.
