Four steps to your first Dominican Republic government contract.
1

Search open tenders on DGCP
Use the DGCP portal at dgcp.gob.do to browse published licitaciones (tenders), comparaciones de precios (price comparisons), and direct contracting notices by category, institution, and status.
3
Submit a compliant bid
Download the pliego de condiciones (terms of reference) for each opportunity, prepare your technical and financial offer, and submit by the deadline. The DGCP portal handles electronic submission for registered suppliers.
4
Track contract awards and procurement records
Award results are published on the DGCP portal in compliance with Dominican transparency law. Review awards to benchmark pricing, identify repeat buyers, and plan future bids.
