Public Sector Procurement Tendering in Egypt is regulated by Law No. 9 of 1983. According to this law, tendering should be subjected to the principles of publicity, equality and freedom of competition. Law No. 9 grants the government with three methods to select the party to an administrative contract: tendering, selective tendering and direct agreement. Contracting for the purposes of purchase of movables, rendering services and concluding works and transport contracts are through a general tender. Contracting through selective tendering may be employed in thfollowing cases: (1) products or services subject to monopoly; (2) pror services that are available only through one particular person; (3) projects or services that cannot be defined with precise specifications; (4) consultative or technical works, which according to their nature, are required to be carried out by means of technicians, specialists or specific experts; (5) animals, poultry and fowls of all kinds required for purposes other than nourishment; (6) supplies, works, transportation and services that are urgent or that must be carried out in secrecy. In case of urgency, the administrative authority may conclude its contracts through direct agreement (negotiation) within the limits of ŁE 2000 regarding regular purchases, services and transport contracts. The limits are ŁE 4000 regarding works-projects and ŁE 8000 regarding the purchase of products monopolized by foreign companies that have no agent in Egypt. A tenderer must reside in Egypt or conduct the tender through a local agent. Previous Chapter Contents Menu Next Chapter
