ProPonte: Contratación pública

ProPonte helps you avoid missing out on public procurement opportunities in Colombia. It tracks calls for tenders and bids on SECOP (I and II), creates a feed of those that match your company's profile, and notifies you when the entities you follow publish something new.

Manually reviewing SECOP is slow and confusing. With ProPonte, you define your business criteria once, and the app creates the feed for you.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH PROPONTE

• View a feed of calls for tenders and bids on SECOP filtered by what's relevant to your company.

• Follow contracting entities and receive notifications when they publish a new process, with the review frequency you choose.

• Review the details of each process to quickly decide whether to submit a bid.

• View recent processes and the history of each entity.

• Save processes and receive notifications when their status changes.

• Search for government entities and processes by keyword. • Consult an entity's public indicators before investing time in a proposal.

HOW IT WORKS

You register your company profile—sector (UNSPSC classification), departments where you can operate, and amount range—the app consults the open data of SECOP and compiles a feed with relevant information. And if you follow the entities you're interested in, you'll receive a notification when they publish a new process.

SECOP I AND SECOP II, SEPARATELY

Many municipalities and small townships still publish on SECOP I, while other entities already operate on SECOP II. Since the two platforms don't share identifiers, ProPonte keeps them separate: each with its own feed, search function, and history, so you don't miss any activity by looking at the wrong database.

GET TO KNOW THE ENTITY BEFORE SUBMITTING

Preparing a proposal costs time and money. Using publicly available data from SECOP itself, ProPonte calculates indicators of each entity's performance: what portion of the budget is concentrated with a single supplier, how frequently the same contractor is used, and how many of their processes are conducted without competition. These are raw data, not ratings: you draw your own conclusions.

WHO IS IT FOR?

For companies, contractors, bidders, and independent professionals who want to sell to the Colombian government and stay informed about open calls for tenders. It's suitable for small-value contracts, public tenders, simplified selection processes, reverse auctions, and merit-based competitions, in any sector: construction, supplies, services, consulting, or technology.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is ProPonte free? Yes. It's funded by advertising and has no plans or subscriptions.

Do I need a RUP (Single Registry of Providers)? Not to use the app. The RUP is required for each specific process depending on its modality; ProPonte helps you find the calls for tenders.

Where is my data stored? On your own phone, encrypted. ProPonte does not have its own account or server; you only need an internet connection to retrieve new calls for tenders.
