Fiveo1 proposes a Guatemala-focused public procurement tracker built on open data from Guatecompras (guatecompras.gt), the official e-procurement portal of the Ministerio de Finanzas Públicas. The tool would make government tenders, awards, and suppliers easier to search, follow, and understand. The .gt domain is Guatemala's country-code top-level domain, introduced in 1992 and sponsored by the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala. Guatecompras is the mandatory electronic system for public acquisitions under Article 4 Bis of Decree 57-92. It is free and open to the public, and it publishes active tenders (NOG), low-value purchases (NPG), awarded processes, open contracts, annual purchasing plans, and supplier checks, including disqualifications. - Index public tender and award data from Guatecompras, using only publicly available information. - Provide search and filters by agency, category, supplier, and status. - Add alerts for new tenders in categories a user follows. - Show award and spending summaries so patterns are visible at a glance. - Publish plain-language reporting on notable procurement activity through Fiveo1. The platform will use PHP, SQLite, and vanilla JavaScript for a lightweight, low-cost, easily maintained build. It will be mobile-friendly and will credit Guatecompras as the data source. - Public data only, with no personal data beyond what Guatecompras already publishes. - Respect for the portal's terms of use and technical limits. - Neutral reporting that links back to the official record.
