What is SETAD?
SETAD (setadiran.ir) is Iran's centralized electronic procurement system, processing tenders for government ministries, state-owned enterprises, and public entities across the country. It is one of the Middle East's largest electronic procurement platforms by transaction volume, processing over 100,000 transactions annually. SETAD publishes in Persian (Farsi), and access to full tender documentation typically requires vendor registration within the Iranian procurement system. The platform has been progressively expanded to cover more government entities as part of modernization efforts.

Key procurement sectors
Iran procurement landscape
Iran is the Middle East's second-largest economy by population, with a procurement market shaped by significant hydrocarbon wealth and an industrial base that has developed substantial domestic capacity under international sanctions. Oil and gas procurement covers exploration, production, and refinery operations across fields managed by the National Iranian Oil Company and affiliated entities — among the largest procurement volumes in the region. Petrochemical manufacturing is a major and growing procurement category, with Iran running one of the world's largest petrochemical complexes in the South Pars region. Automotive manufacturing — Iran is the region's largest auto producer — generates supply chain procurement for parts, machinery, and tooling. Healthcare procurement covers a large public hospital network serving a population of over 85 million. The sanctions environment significantly constrains participation by international vendors, particularly from Western countries, limiting the competitive pool to domestic suppliers and vendors from non-sanctioning countries. IT services procurement has expanded through Iran's domestic technology sector growth, though international software and hardware procurement faces severe sanctions restrictions.
Bidding on Iran tenders.
Vendor participation in Iranian procurement requires registration on SETAD's supplier system and compliance with Iranian public procurement law. International vendors from non-sanctioning countries may participate in some categories, but sanctions compliance obligations vary significantly by vendor jurisdiction and contract category. All documentation is in Persian.
Why search SETAD with Hook?
