What Egypt Law 182 of 2018 Regulating Contracts Concluded by Public Entities (Public Tenders Law) requires
The Egypt Law No. 182 of 2018 on Regulating Contracts Concluded by Public Entities (Qanun Tanzim al-Aqud al-Lati Tubrimuha al-Jihat al-Amma) issued 3 September 2018 and effective 4 October 2018 (with the Executive Regulations issued by Prime Ministerial Decree 692 of 2019 effective 30 March 2019) is the principal Egyptian statute governing procurement of goods, services, contracting works, and consultancy services by public entities including ministries, government departments, public administrative authorities, public service authorities, public-sector companies, and other entities financed by the State budget. Law 182/2018 replaced the prior Law 89 of 1998 (Public Tenders and Auctions Law) and substantially modernised the Egyptian procurement regime aligning with Egypt Vision 2030 and the broader anti-corruption agenda. The Ministry of Finance through the Government Services Sector (Qita al-Khidmat al-Hukumiyya) is the central procurement policy authority. The Egyptian Government Procurement Portal (etenders.gov.eg) is the federal e-procurement platform. Procurement methods established by Law 182/2018 art. 5 comprise (a) General Tender (Munaqasa Aamma, art. 6, the default open public tender), (b) Limited Tender (Munaqasa Mahduda, art. 7, with prequalification), (c) Local Tender (Munaqasa Mahalliyya, art. 8, restricted to local suppliers in prescribed circumstances), (d) Practice (Mumarasa, art. 13, negotiated procedure under prescribed exceptions), (e) Direct Order (Amr Mubasher, art. 13, sole-source under prescribed exceptions including emergency, sole supplier for technical reasons, prior failed tendering, and prescribed-class exemptions), and (f) Two-Stage Tender (art. 9). Law 182/2018 introduced strengthened integrity provisions including supplier debarment, conflict of interest disclosure, anti-bribery commitments, and mandatory beneficial ownership disclosure. The Administrative Prosecution Authority (Niyabat al-Idariyya) has investigative authority over public procurement integrity. Egypt is NOT a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) but is an observer. Egypt is a party to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA), and the UNCAC.
