Costa Rica’s Ministry of Finance has detailed the process for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to register as state suppliers. This initiative aims to open up a substantial market worth 4.21 trillion colones (approximately $7.8 billion USD) to smaller businesses. The Ministry is providing a technical guide outlining the necessary steps for SME registration and participation in government contracting. This move is intended to increase competition and broaden the base of companies bidding on public projects. Interested parties can now access information on how to qualify and compete for these lucrative government contracts. The program seeks to stimulate economic growth by enabling SMEs to access significant revenue streams through public sector opportunities. This simplifies the often complex process of becoming a state supplier, fostering greater inclusivity in public procurement.
