How to access and bid on government tenders in Algeria.

BAOSEM (Bulletin des Appels d'Offres et Marchés) is the official publication for Algerian public contracts under the country's public procurement regulations. Open international tenders, restricted tenders, and single-source contracts above the applicable thresholds are announced through BAOSEM. Major ministries, state-owned enterprises, and autonomous public bodies each manage their own procurement, and some publish supplementary notices on their own portals in addition to BAOSEM.

International suppliers can participate in Algerian tenders, particularly for categories not fully covered by domestic industry. The law includes provisions favouring local content and local integration — particularly requirements to partner with or sub-contract to Algerian companies for certain goods and services. Documentation requirements are strict: Arabic is the language of public administration, and tender dossiers are primarily issued in Arabic.

Algeria's procurement market is significant in scale, covering energy, infrastructure, health, education, water, and ICT. The breadth of contracting entities makes it difficult to track manually across BAOSEM and institutional portals.
