There are different kind of procurement procedures applicable for the procurement of goods, services and works depending on the amount of the contract, as summarized in the following table:

Electronic means are used in public procurement. The Electronic Government Procurement System (SEACE) is the e-system used to exchange information and disseminate government procurement, as well as to carry out e-transactions. In this system are all the documents related to the procedure, addendums, awards, conciliation, etc.

Also, there is a specific electronic procedure, which is the electronic reverse auction, this procedure is used for procurement of common goods and services, which have technical specifications and are included in the List of Common Goods and Services. Finally, there are special contracting methods, which permit entities to contract to provide goods and services in the "E-Catalogues" outside of the typical selection process.

In the Electronic Government Procurement System (SEACE) all documents related to the procedure, the calls for tender, the integrated bases, the contract, the addendums, awards, and other important information related to a public procurement are registered.
