The General Directorate of Public Procurement (DGCP) of the Dominican Republic has launched a new Public Procurement Information System—an advanced technological platform aimed at boosting transparency, improving planning, and encouraging broader participation in the country’s public procurement processes. This system incorporates big data technologies and features a user-friendly interface that provides detailed access to information on procurement procedures, bids, and awarded contracts, benefiting suppliers, procurement units, decision-makers, journalists, and citizens alike.

The platform is built around four main modules:

– DataCompras RD: Centralizes procurement information and allows advanced searches on purchasing processes, awarded contracts, public institutions, and registered suppliers.

– ParticipaYa RD: Encourages citizen and business participation in procurement procedures.

– PlanifícateYa RD: Offers tools to support efficient public procurement planning.

– Open Data: Provides access to strategic and analytical information to enable evidence-based decision-making.

With this initiative, the DGCP reaffirms its commitment to the continuous improvement of public procurement management, aiming to optimize public spending and promote greater citizen and business involvement in state contracting processes.
