We are proud to announce that Digital Economics has been awarded the project to develop, implement and operate the Supplier Registry and Smart Nominations Portal for the Egyptian General Company for Tourism and Hotels (EGOTH), under Tender No. 61.
About EGOTH
Founded in 1976, the Egyptian General Company for Tourism and Hotels (الشركة المصرية العامة للسياحة والفنادق «إيجوث») is a state-owned company affiliated with the Holding Company for Tourism, Hotels and Trade under the Ministry of Public Business Sector. It is one of Egypt’s leading hotel owners, with 14 hotels and a Nile floating unit, many of them known for their historic value, such as the Mena House in Giza, the Winter Palace in Luxor, the Old Cataract in Aswan and the Palestine Hotel in Alexandria, operated in partnership with international hotel brands. EGOTH also runs higher institutes for tourism and hotels.
About the project
The portal is an integrated electronic system that digitizes how EGOTH registers and qualifies its suppliers, contractors, consultants and appraisal experts, uses artificial intelligence to analyze tender documents and recommend suitable suppliers, and manages the full tendering and award cycle. Its scope includes:
- An online registration portal for suppliers, contractors, consultants and appraisal experts, with document management and AI-assisted screening
- A searchable supplier registry with qualification by category
- AI analysis of tender specifications, smart supplier nominations and electronic invitations
- Electronic bid submission, bid opening, technical and financial evaluation, award decisions and direct-negotiation procedures
- Reports for management and the relevant committees
Our approach
- Built on Odoo 19 Community, with no per-user license fees
- Open-weight AI models running entirely on a dedicated server inside EGOTH’s own infrastructure, so no data leaves the organization
- People stay in control: AI prepares the analysis and recommendations, and the relevant committees review and decide
- Delivery over six months in two phases, followed by a pilot operation period, with training for users, committee members, system administrators and the IT team
What this means
This award reflects the growing trust public-sector organizations place in our ability to combine Odoo with secure, on-premises AI. We thank EGOTH for its confidence and look forward to delivering a portal that makes procurement faster, more efficient and driven by data.
