Decret 2018-366 replaced the prior Decret 2004/275 of 24 September 2004 and substantially modernised the Cameroonian procurement framework aligning with CEMAC procurement directives and international best practice. The Agence de Regulation des Marches Publics (ARMP / armp.cm) under the Office of the Prime Minister is the central regulatory authority responsible for procurement regulation, supplier debarment, complaint resolution, and procurement guidance. The Ministry Delegate at the Presidency in charge of Public Procurement (MINMAP) is the operational central procurement authority. The Cameroon Online E-Procurement System (COLEPS / coleps.cm under rollout) is the federal e-procurement platform. Procurement methods established by Decret 2018-366 art. 35 to 89 comprise (a) Appel d'offres ouvert (Open Call for Tenders, the default open public procedure), (b) Appel d'offres restreint (Restricted Call for Tenders, with prequalification), (c) Appel d'offres national / international (National / International Call for Tenders), (d) Appel d'offres en deux etapes (Two-Stage Tender, for complex acquisitions), (e) Consultation simple (Simple Consultation, for low-value acquisitions), (f) Gre a gre (Direct Negotiation, sole-source under prescribed exceptions in art. 87 to 89 including emergency, sole supplier for technical reasons, prior unsuccessful tendering, and prescribed-class exemptions), (g) Demande de cotation (Request for Quotations, for small-value), and (h) Concours (Design Contest). The Chambre des Comptes of the Supreme Court conducts ex-post procurement audit. The Commission Nationale Anti-Corruption (CONAC) has investigative jurisdiction over procurement-related corruption.
