2Justification
The problem or need
Project owners look for qualified contractors and suppliers through contacts and scattered adverts, and a small contractor has no organised way to show what it can do or reach project opportunities.
Today
Release 1 of the e-marketplace lists only 4,100 contractors with no ratings or requests for quotation, and 17% of posted requests closed with no offer.
3Objectives
- A second release of the e-marketplace linking project owners with member contractors through requests for quotation and verified ratings from Muqawil, lifting requests with at least one offer to 95%.
Strategic objectives served
- SO-4.3 — A sustainable financial base
- SO-2.1 — Build capability and innovation in the sector
