State Procurement Programme To Enhance Collaboration Between Government Entities and Local Companies

Some 16 government entities will take part in the 3rd edition of the Annual Meeting of the State Procurement Programme 2026 on October 20-22, the organisers announced yesterday.

The event will be held under the slogan ‘One Vision, Multiple Opportunities’, officials of the Ministry of Finance, represented by the Government Procurement Regulatory Department and Qatar Development Bank, in co-operation with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and Qatar Chamber said at a media event at the Ministry of Finance.

They said the '2026 Government Procurement Plan Forum' is considered one of the most prominent events with regard to government procurement.

This announcement comes following the success of the previous two editions, with last year's forum witnessing notable attendance, reflecting the active role the forum plays in strengthening communication and cooperation between the public and private sectors.

The 2026 Government Procurement Plan Forum is considered a strategic platform aimed at enhancing collaboration between government entities and local companies, while providing an enabling environment for economic growth and technological development within the procurement sector.

With participation from some 16 government entities, this year’s edition will feature a renewed set of focus areas.

Workshops will explore key themes such as procurement policies and legislation, digital transformation, and company classification. In addition, updates related to the In-Country Value (ICV) framework for 2026 will be presented.

Panel discussions will address issues including support for small and medium-sized enterprises, cost-saving opportunities, competitiveness enhancement, investment potential, promotion of local products.

The Government Procurement Regulatory Department at the Ministry of Finance has invited all companies, entrepreneurs, and parties interested to take part in the third edition of the forum.

The event offers a unique opportunity to gain direct insight into the government’s procurement plans for 2026 and to explore available opportunities for building future partnerships and participating competitively in the national procurement market.

The previous edition of the forum attracted more than 2,000 participants from the local community, including entrepreneurs, investors, and representatives of companies of different sizes.

Over 980 representatives from across the economic spectrum took part, contributing to the creation of an ideal environment for communication and partnership-building.

The diversity of participation spanned several key sectors, including manufacturing, services, construction, construction technology, hospitality, and other industries.

This broad and inclusive engagement reflects the forum’s growing importance as a national platform for reinforcing collaboration between the public and private sectors, while also empowering companies and advancing the national economy.
