What Attesta S.p.A. Organismo di Attestazione S.O.A. does

Attesta S.p.A. Organismo di Attestazione S.O.A. is an Italian private limited company (Società per Azioni) authorized by ANAC (Autorità Nazionale Anticorruzione) since 09/11/2000 under Authorization No. 7 — among Italy's first licensed Società Organismi di Attestazione — to certify construction companies for participation in public-works procurement above €150,000, as mandated by Italian public-procurement law (D.Lgs. 36/2023 and the preceding AVCP regime). The firm is headquartered in Milan (Via Monte Rosa 14) with an administrative office in Locorotondo (Apulia) and operates with a 22-person team extended by outsourced field professionals providing national on-premises client coverage through a toll-free line (800 83 3083), scheduled video calls, and online inquiry channels.

Its single core product, Attestazione SOA, covers 52 work categories across 10 classification levels and is priced via a statutory formula (Allegato II.12 D.Lgs. n. 36/2023) at the legal minimum tariff — approximately €5,750 for a single-category minimum attestation and ~€8,300 for a typical three-category SME qualification. Attestations are valid for 5 years with mandatory mid-term (triennale) verification, providing recurring revenue. Supporting digital tools include a cost calculator, video-call booking, information-request forms, and an online brochure. Since 2020, Attesta has co-developed the 'Qualificazione Sicura' blockchain document-notarization system with IBM and other UnioSOA-affiliated SOAs to create tamper-proof digital fascicles of attestation evidence.

Revenue mechanics are entirely professional-services and domestically constrained (Italian construction firms only). Across 25 years the firm reports 23,947+ attestations issued, 6,541+ companies served, a self-declared 99% customer satisfaction, and zero ANAC sanctioning procedures. Share capital stands at €1,000,000; no M&A, fundraising, or ownership change is disclosed.
