The new Implementing Regulations of the Private Sector Participation Law will require real competition in the tendering process and ensure the public interest is protected.

It also provides legislation that ensures dealing fairly with all participants and avoiding any conflict of interest.

The new laws aim is to encourage investors to bid for contracts and, therefore, boost private sector contribution to Saudi Arabia’s gross domestic product.
