Law No. 2015-49 of November 27, 2015, on Public-Private Partnership Contracts
The Tunisian Assembly of People's Representatives enacted Law No. 2015-49 to establish a comprehensive legal framework for public-private partnership contracts, aiming to diversify public procurement financing and strengthen national infrastructure. The legislation mandates strict procedural safeguards, including competitive tendering, transparent risk-sharing, and binding oversight by a newly created General Public-Private Partnership Authority, while defining precise rules for contract award, execution, financial remuneration, and termination. It further institutionalizes control mechanisms through periodic audits by the Court of Audit and the National Partnership Authority, ensuring accountability, continuity of public service, and protection of national economic interests throughout the contract lifecycle.
