Cuba Tenders

The Ministry of Finance and Prices (Ministerio de Finanzas y Precios) is the main government agency responsible for public procurement in Cuba.
The Gaceta Oficial de la República de Cuba is the official gazette of the Cuban government, where all public procurement tenders are published.
The Sistema Electrónico de Contrataciones (SEC) is an electronic procurement system where Cuban government agencies can publish tenders and suppliers can submit bids.
GlobalTenders aggregates tenders from Cuba's official, authorities and agencies websites, newspapers, journals and magazines. With artificial intelligence and machine learning the data is authenticated, segregated and reorganized to make thousands of Cuba Tenders easily searchable on a single platform.
