Mauritania’s New Public Procurement Code Moves Toward Implementation

On 5 November, the Ministry of Economic Affairs presented the implementing provisions for Law No. 026-2026 on public procurement. The proposed framework focuses on transparent tendering, fair competition, accountability and more efficient public expenditure. No new compliance fee or regulatory implementation contract value was announced. The changes may increase demand for procurement-law advisers, bid compliance specialists, contract auditors and governance consultants. HPC can connect companies with legal experts and help suppliers strengthen their public procurement procedures.
