Government tendering in Egypt: learning to deal with reality

Article Abstract:

Investors looking to enter into public sector contracts in Egypt should be aware of not only relevant Egyptian law, but the practical problems that arise during the bidding process. Egyptian tender law requires all bids to be submitted through an Egyptian commercial agent. When major capital equipment is involved the government usually requests credit terms with 10% payable when the contract is signed and the remainder paid in semiannual installments. Many of the more problematic aspects of tendering in Egypt occur due to a lack of contractual responsibility for the government purchaser.
