While there’s been much hype over blockchain and cryptocurrency in the past few years, we take a look at how these technologies are set to bring significant change to the construction sector, and how they might provide solutions to many age-old industry problems.

Since the launch of our Company Profiles, Construction Intelligence & Product Catalogues modules in 2016, ProTenders’ data and traffic grew exponentially, quickly becoming one of the leading information sources for anything Construction in the region.

As an integral player in the development and progress of the global construction market, we at ProTenders are proud to play our part in making this region of the world one of the most sought-after destinations to live, work and play.

ProTenders was featured in the July / August 2015 edition of Infrastructure Middle East, a magazine that covers infrastructure development in the MENA region, including power, desalination, telecommunications, roads & bridges, construction, oil & gas, ports & shipping, aviation, railways and infrastructure finance.

As we analyzed the results of our 2015 Global Construction Survey, we realized that construction companies both locally and internationally face 2 main problems:

• how to grow their business, especially when trying to expand outside of their core market (which includes finding new leads and finding the right partners),
• how to execute these projects in a timely fashion once they’ve been awarded.

Until recently, ProTenders, with its advanced eTendering platform, online document management and bid submittals and advanced analysis tools, was mostly geared towards helping companies solve the 2nd part of the problem.

With our latest release, we’ve grown our suite of products to cater to the business development needs of construction companies using the same core values at the heart of the ProTenders philosophy; drive efficiency and reduce risk.

A few weeks ago, we told you we’d be introducing simplified pricing that reflects how our customer base has changed. As we’ve grown, we’ve found ourselves supporting a wider range of companies, with not only different, but also evolving needs with regard to the ProTenders platform.

Continuing on our series of articles on the upcoming Monaqasat v3, we’d today like to talk about another great feature we’ve been working on - easily creating sub-tenders.

Today, we’re starting a new series of articles that will introduce the new features we’ve been working on for our next big release (v3), due out within a few short weeks.

Karim Helal, Monaqasat’s co-founder and CEO is interviewed in this month’s edition of Construction Week Qatar and explains how the Monaqasat.com platform can help architects, developers and contractors manage their tender process in an easy, efficient and transparent way.
