Procurement of Construction Services by Government Institutions

The Minister for Public Works has issued Circular No. 08/SE/M/2006 to clarify the requirements that must be fulfilled in the procurement of construction services. This is important as there is a significant amount of legislation covering this field including Law No. 18 of 1999; Government Regulations No. 28, 29, and 30; Presidential Decree No. 80 of 2003 and No. 70 of 2005; Presidential Regulation No. 32 of 2005; Minister for Regional Settlements and Infrastructure Decision No. 339/KPTS/M/2003; and Minister of Public Works Decision No. 448/KPTS/M/1995.

The other relevant legislation is Presidential Instruction No. 5 of 2004 as it related to the prevention of leakage and siphoning of State funds in the procurement of goods and services.
