English brief

Summary

Saudi authorities have approved an amendment to the thirteenth article after the one hundred, in the executive regulations of the Government Tenders and Purchases System. The decision outlines transitional provisions for how the new rules apply to tenders and contracts already issued or in process prior to the system’s effective date, and preserves existing procedures where relevant. The reform is to be published in the official gazette and takes effect from its date, with the ministry of finance responsible for implementation.
