How to find and win government tenders in Tunisia.
Tunisia operates a national e-procurement system called TUNEPS (http://www.tuneps.tn), which centralises tender publication and electronic submission for ministries, public institutions, and regional bodies. This guide covers how to register on TUNEPS, search for opportunities, structure a compliant offer, and monitor contract awards.
Four steps to your first Tunisia government contract.
1
Register on TUNEPS
Create your supplier account on www.tuneps.tn and upload your registration documents, including your commercial registration, fiscal identification card, and any relevant professional certifications. Completed registration gives you access to full tender dossiers.
2
Search and filter active tenders
TUNEPS lists all open and restricted tenders by ministry, category, and region. Save the search and turn on its alert: once a day, we email you the number of new open and awarded tenders that match it.
3
Submit your offer electronically
TUNEPS supports electronic bid submission, with separate technical and financial envelopes as required by Tunisian procurement law. Ensure all mandatory certificates, bond guarantees, and declaration forms are uploaded in the correct format before the deadline.

Search Tunisia government tenders
TUNEPS (Tunisian National e-Procurement System) covers procurement across the central state, public institutions, municipalities, and regional governments. Open tenders above legislated thresholds are mandatory for most contracting entities, and the system supports the full procurement cycle from notice publication through electronic submission to award announcement. Procurement rules in Tunisia are governed by the government procurement decree applicable to public purchases.
International suppliers can bid on Tunisian government contracts without categorical restriction, though some contracts — particularly public works and sensitive services — may include local-content requirements or preference margins for domestic suppliers. Tenders are primarily in Arabic, with some in French, reflecting Tunisia's official bilingualism in public administration.
TUNEPS is a well-established portal, but the volume of notices across hundreds of public entities makes systematic monitoring challenging. Sell to State indexes TUNEPS tender and award data, with plain-English search and saved tender searches with a daily email alert.
