Dokki is a central district of Cairo and a hub for government contracting activity in Egypt. Government contracts cover the procurement of goods, works, and services by state bodies, universities, and local authorities within the Dokki area and across Cairo. The core framework is national law, with implementation guided by official tender platforms and regulatory bodies.
Egypt relies on a comprehensive Public Procurement framework to ensure competition, transparency, and value for money in government dealings. The Public Procurement Law No. 182 of 2018 and its implementing regulations govern how tenders are advertised, evaluated, and awarded. Since 2019, the government has increasingly moved to electronic bidding and digital contract management to improve efficiency and reduce disputes. Official sources detail these rules and the online tender process for entities in Dokki and beyond.
In practice, most Dokki projects follow the national rules, but there can be local variations for Cairo Governorate and municipal bodies. Local authorities may require additional documentation or project-specific conditions while still aligning with the national procurement framework. Engaging a lawyer who understands both national and local procurement nuances can prevent common pitfalls.

The primary legal framework for government contracts in Egypt is the Public Procurement regime, with 2-3 core instruments guiding how tenders are run, contracts are formed, and disputes are resolved.
This law sets the standard process for advertising tenders, evaluating bids, and awarding government contracts across Egypt, including Dokki and Cairo. It also introduces electronic bidding and procurement channels to boost transparency. The Executive Regulations supplement the law by detailing procedures, requirements, and timelines that tender issuers and bidders must follow.
Recent shifts in practice emphasize electronic procurement and digital contract management, with tender notices and bid submissions increasingly moving online. These changes are designed to speed up procurement and improve auditability. For official guidance, refer to the Tenders Portal and the Ministry of Finance resources.
The Executive Regulations provide the procedural rules for tender issuance, bid evaluation criteria, contract formation, and post award changes. They are essential to understanding how the law is applied in practice for Dokki and Cairo projects. Changes in practice, such as electronic bidding requirements, are reflected in these regulations. See official procurement sources for the latest rules.
Procurement undertaken by Cairo Governorate and district offices in Dokki may involve local administration rules in addition to the Public Procurement Law. While the national framework governs most aspects, local authorities can impose project-specific terms, timelines, and documentation requirements. A lawyer familiar with Cairo governance can help manage these local nuances.

A government contract is an agreement between a government body and a private entity for goods, works, or services. It follows public procurement rules and requires compliance with tender and contract terms.
Register on the official tenders portal, review the tender documents, meet eligibility criteria, prepare the bid, and submit before the deadline. Clarifications should be requested within stated timelines.
Common documents include company registration, tax and VAT certificates, financial statements, certifications of technical capability, and bid security or performance bonds as specified in the tender.
From tender publication to award, processes can take 6 to 12 weeks or longer depending on project complexity and appeals. Electronic bidding aims to shorten notification and evaluation times.
Some tenders require local presence or partners to meet local content or regulatory requirements. Check the specific tender rules for eligibility and partnership rules.
Payment terms vary by contract but commonly range from 30 to 180 days after invoice submission, with potential interest for late payment as provided in contract terms.
Liquidated damages are defined in the contract and must align with applicable laws. They should reflect actual anticipated losses and be proportionate to the breach.
Bids respond to a formal procurement invitation with price-based offers, while proposals may include technical solutions and value-added aspects offered in response to a request for proposals.
