The letter further states that the said procedures will be carried out via a national public procurement portal which users can access with a user name and password, and that the Portal enables the contracting authority to submit the project file to the advisory board, take note of its observations and provide files, documents, additional information and indicators to candidates.

Furthermore, it is recorded that the Portal provides the means for carrying out provisional guarantee procedures, signing documents electronically, evaluating applications, announcing the results of the tender envelope opening session, and informing the winning candidates and the candidates whose applications have been rejected.

It is stated that certain specific provisions of the Decree will enter into force ten days after the publication of the Decree in the Official Gazette (as of 10 July 2022), the provisions concerning public tenders with a value exceeding 5 Million Dirhams will enter into force as of 1 November 2022, and the provisions for tenders with a value exceeding 2 Million Dirhams will enter into force as of 1 February 2023.
