It is not apparent whether procurement procedures take into account the size and complexity of projects, as is the case in countries with advanced PPP programmes (FEMIP, 2013). The General Tendering Department in the Ministry of Public Works oversees the activities of contracting authorities to ensure the integrity of the procurement process involving the private sector. However, the tendering process is not always competitive. Another example is the award for the service contract for Kerak. It was originally won by Engicon, which was asked to turn down the contract because of its dominance in the sector.
