La Soatech

What La Soatech does

La Soatech S.p.A. is an Italian private company authorized by ANAC (Autorità Nazionale Anticorruzione) to act as a Società Organismo di Attestazione (SOA). Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Catania, the company issues legally mandated qualification attestations (SOA attestations) required for construction companies and public works contractors to participate in Italian public procurement tenders for works exceeding €150,000, as established by D.Lgs. 36/2023. Its attestations verify a firm's solidity, reliability, technical-organizational capacity, and fiscal regularity across all general works (OG) and specialized works (OS) categories. The company is "participata" by ANCE (national construction contractors' association) and ANCI (national municipal association), and is a member of UNIONSOA.

The core product is the Attestazione di Qualificazione SOA, supported by renewal services (5-year validity), mandatory triennial reviews, category integrations, classification upgrades, and simple variations. Underlying technology consists of the SIS evo Cloud proprietary document submission portal (secure upload/download of attestation documentation), an online fee calculator based on the statutory formula [C/12,500 + (2N + 8) × €413.16] × 1.0413 × 1.550, an online requirements calculator, and a video call consultation service. Distribution is handled through a national network of 15-16 branch offices across Italy (Catania HQ, Roma, Napoli, Palermo, Bologna, Torino, Firenze, and others) combined with digital self-service channels. The company holds UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certification and operates a dedicated press room tracking regulatory updates from ANAC and related authorities.

La Soatech's revenue model is regulated and uniform across all ANAC-authorized SOAs: it generates one-time fees from initial attestations and renewals, triennial review fees (3/5 of original cost), category integration and classification upgrade fees (difference-based or 1/3 of standard rates), and simple variation fees (5%-10% fixed/proportional tariffs). Pricing is governed by D.Lgs. 36/2023 Allegato II.12, with statutory reductions of 50% for stable consortia and 20% for enterprises qualified up to Class II. Customer segments are horizontal — primarily Italian construction companies and public works contractors, with a secondary segment for stable consortia (Consorzi Stabili). No revenue figures, customer logos, or financial performance data are publicly disclosed in the available sources.

Fees are calculated based on a formula involving total qualification amount (C), number of categories (N), and ISTAT coefficient (R=1.550). Formula: [C/12.500 +(2 x N + 8) x 413.16] x 1.0413 x R
2. Triennial Review Fees: Fees for mandatory triennial verification of maintained requirements, charged at 3/5 of the original attestation cost (P = CB x 3/5)
3. Category Integration and Classification Upgrade Fees: Fees for adding new categories or upgrading classifications during the validity period of an existing attestation. New category fees calculated as difference between new and old attestation tariffs; classification upgrades at 1/3 of standard rates
4. Simple Variation Fees: Fixed-rate fees for simple variations to existing attestations, either at fixed tariff (5%) or proportional tariff (10%)
