AlMaqtaa (Abu Dhabi Marketplace)

AlMaqtaa is the Abu Dhabi government procurement marketplace that operates as the supplier-facing interface of the Abu Dhabi Government Procurement Gate (ADGPG), publishing tenders from across the Abu Dhabi government in both Arabic and English with UNSPSC category coding and Oracle Fusion Procurement Cloud as the backend.

What is AlMaqtaa?

AlMaqtaa (adgpg.gov.ae) serves the Abu Dhabi government's procurement ecosystem, listing active and completed tenders from approximately 156 Abu Dhabi government entities. Unlike Gulf SOE platforms such as sap-ariba, AlMaqtaa is publicly accessible without authentication, making it one of the most transparent government procurement portals in the GCC. The platform classifies tenders using UNSPSC codes across 57 categories, enabling suppliers to filter by their relevant sector. Notices are published in both Arabic and English, which reduces the access barrier for international suppliers. The backend runs on Oracle Fusion Procurement Cloud, which provides deeplink URLs for tracking specific participation records. A technical quirk of the API is that the pagination parameter is ignored by the server, so fetching all available tenders requires setting a high limit in a single request rather than paginating.

The name AlMaqtaa refers to the Abu Dhabi procurement gate -- adgpg -- and the marketplace is the visible, supplier-facing expression of that gateway.

Why AlMaqtaa matters for bidders

AlMaqtaa is the entry point for Abu Dhabi government contracts from entities outside ADNOC and Abu Dhabi's SOE sector. The combination of open access, bilingual content, and UNSPSC coding makes it one of the more accessible Gulf government portals. Suppliers should monitor AlMaqtaa systematically for their relevant UNSPSC categories, since the 156 entity universe covers a wide range of sectors from infrastructure to social services. Participating in Abu Dhabi government tenders typically also requires a valid icv-certificate and a UAE uae-trade-license with relevant business activities.
