Madayn Launches Platform to Enhance Local Content in
Government Procurements

Muscat, 20 Mar (ONA) — The Public Establishment for Industrial Estates
(Madayn) today launched a platform codenamed “Rabt” (connectivity) to enhance its
partnership with the Secretariat General of the Tender Board.

The ceremony was held under the auspices of Eng. Salim Nasser Al Aufi,
Minister of Energy and Minerals.

The platform aims to enhance integration between government departments
and the private sector by maximizing the outcome of localized industries and link
them to government tenders and procurements. It also contributes to upgrading
the competitiveness of local products and services in local markets.

The platform showcases more than 5,000 industrial products
and services provided by more than 300 factories and companies operating in
Madayn’s industrial cities. It provides a comprehensive database that supports
government procurement.

The ceremony also saw the signing of outsourcing agreements between
