Sana'a - Saba:
The Supreme Authority for Tenders and Auctions has called upon all tender and auction committees in government entities subject to the provisions of the Tenders Law to grant a preference margin to products from local agricultural and industrial projects.
In a circular addressed to all ministers, governors, heads of authorities, institutions, central agencies, companies, and universities, the Authority emphasized that—based on its mandates, the memorandum of the Minister of Economy, Industry, , Investment, and the executive regulations of the Tenders and Auctions Law—all entities must include provisions in tender documents allowing for the submission of local products and granting a preference margin to local agricultural and industrial products. This applies particularly when the entity requires agricultural or industrial products and there are local products of quality equivalent to imported materials.
The Authority noted that the evaluation and analysis committee should consider this matter during the final assessment stage. The preference should be granted in accordance with the percentage and conditions specified in the Investment Law, with proof provided by the relevant authority for evaluation purposes only. This is in addition to the provisions of Article (71) of Investment Law No. (3) of 1446 AH.
