The Public Procurement Portal: A Lever for Growth in Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra
The Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services (CCIS) of the Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra region plays a crucial role in promoting the Public Procurement Portal, an initiative set up by the Kingdom’s General Treasury (TGR) of the Ministry of Economy and Finance. This portal is essential for enhancing transparency and access to economic opportunities for local companies.
Awareness-raising and information
Although the CCIS did not initiate the Public Procurement Portal, it is actively involved in informing and raising awareness of the resources available to the region’s business sector. Through seminars, workshops and training courses, the CCIS helps companies to navigate the portal, respond to calls for tender and maximize the opportunities available.
Facilitating access to public contracts
The Public Procurement Portal offers a transparent platform where government entities publish their requirements for goods and services. The CCIS ensures that its members are regularly informed of new announcements and updates to the portal, promoting active and informed participation by the regional business community.
Support and assistance
The CCIS also offers ongoing support to companies wishing to participate in public procurement, including help in preparing bidding documents and understanding legal and technical requirements. This support is crucial in helping SMEs overcome the administrative and technological challenges associated with public procurement procedures.
The Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra CCIS, while not managing the Public Procurement Portal, is indispensable as a facilitator between the government and local businesses. It plays a vital role in facilitating access to crucial information and supporting businesses in their participation in public procurement, thus contributing to the sustainable economic development of the region.
