What is the purpose of the vortalGOV platform?
According to the public contracting norms specified in the question above, public entities must adopt strict procedures, from Direct Contracting to International Public Tenders. A number of formalities must be observed in such procedures, such as publishing tender documents (tender programmes, specification documents), requesting and providing clarifications as required to understand these documents, delivering proposals and applications, issuing notifications on the acceptance or exclusion of given bidders and, finally, the contract award itself. In light of the above, vortalGOVs main purpose is to allow all of these phases (and others required by law) to be done via its platform, thus providing centralised management of public tenders and simultaneously facilitating all required interactions between public entities and suppliers.
