Our platform covers active opportunities in reconstruction, infrastructure, oil and gas and development projects across all regions of Libya.

As an oil rich nation undergoing a historic reconstruction boom following the 2023 cyclone and decades of infrastructure needs, Libya offers contractors and suppliers access to a modernizing procurement system governed by Resolution No. 600 of 2024 (Administrative Contracts Regulations). With 8,000+ government announcements recorded in 2025 involving 36 major public entities, the Libyan market represents a substantial and growing opportunity for local and international bidders.

Search for Libya tenders using local keywords: عطاء/عطاءات (tender/tenders), مناقصة/مناقصات or منصة المشتريات الحكومية (government procurement platform). Contact our team for personalized assistance or Register now to get daily email alerts for Libya opportunities in Arabic and English.

Why Target the Libya Tender Market?

  • 8,000+ Government Announcements in 2025: Libya's official procurement platform recorded over 8,000 government announcements during 2025, involving 36 major public entities and more than 550 affiliated entities. Operational purchases constituted the largest proportion, with a notable increase in the last quarter of the year.
  • New Legal Framework Resolution No. 600 of 2024: Libya's Council of Ministers issued Resolution No. 600 of 2024, replacing the outdated Resolution No. 563 of 2007. This comprehensive overhaul establishes a unified legal structure covering the entire lifecycle of administrative contracts from tendering through to execution, filling critical gaps left by prior regulations.
  • Historic Reconstruction Boom (Post Cyclone Daniel September 2023): The catastrophic flooding that devastated Derna, Al Bayda and other eastern cities has triggered a massive reconstruction initiative. Major contracts have been signed with Egyptian firms for critical development projects including retaining walls, road expansions, wastewater networks and treatment plants.
  • Enhanced Transparency and Accountability: Resolution 600/2024 introduces formal grievance mechanisms, enabling stakeholders to challenge bid awards, restricting direct commissioning to rare cases and mandating the use of electronic platforms for bid submissions to promote fairness and integrity.
  • ATTAAT - The Government Tenders and Procurement Platform: Libya's unified eProcurement portal (ATTAAT) was launched officially in January 2023 after a beta phase. It is designed to organize public procurement procedures, prevent abuse of influence, protect public money and provide opportunities for small and medium sized enterprises. All state institutions are required to publish their bids and purchases through this platform.
  • Digital Transformation - GFMIS & TSA (October 2025): The Minister of Finance met with a Canadian company to implement the Government Financial Management Information System (GFMIS) and the Treasury Single Account (TSA), covering expenditures, procurement, tenders, revenue collection and budget classification - a major step toward international best practices and transparency.
  • Enhanced Oversight - Audit Bureau Powers: Under Resolution 600/2024, the Audit Bureau has strengthened oversight powers, including prior approval requirements for contracts exceeding specified thresholds, reinforcing vital checks and balances.
  • Historic Oil & Gas Licensing Round: Libya launched its first upstream licensing round in nearly two decades in March 2025, offering 22 blocks across the Sirte, Murzuq and Ghadames basins, plus offshore zones. The new "fifth generation" EPSA V contract offers contractor IRRs up to 35.8% (compared to 2.5% under the old regime), removing restrictive mechanisms and creating a more transparent, commercially compelling environment for upstream investment.
  • UNDP and UN Agency Tenders: The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) operates actively in Libya, issuing regular tenders for rehabilitation, construction and development projects. Recent examples include the rehabilitation of the Historical Omar Ben Abdulaziz School in Gaser Bin Gashir Municipality.
  • Alignment with International Standards: Libya's procurement reforms aim for parity with international norms, intending to facilitate foreign investment, cross border cooperation and improve Libya's rankings in global governance and ease of doing business indices. The country's proximity to European markets and existing midstream infrastructure further enhances project viability.
  • Safeguards for SMEs: The ATTAAT platform is explicitly designed to provide opportunities and guarantee the participation of small and medium sized enterprises to support and promote economic development in Libya.

How to Bid on Libya Tenders (Step by Step)

Based on Resolution No. 600 of 2024 and ATTAAT platform procedures:

  • Step 1: Find Tender Opportunities:- Browse our platform for active عطاءات (tenders) in Libya. Use keywords like "عطاءات حكومية" or search by sector. Search all live tenders here.
  • Step 2: Register on the ATTAAT Platform:- Register your company on the official Government Tenders and Procurement Platform at ldil.gia.gov.ly/Ataat. This is mandatory for all suppliers seeking to bid on government tenders. Registration ensures equal opportunity and transparency.
  • Step 3: Access Tender Documents (وثائق العطاء):- Download the complete tender documents package including technical specifications, legal conditions and bid forms. Under Resolution 600/2024, electronic submission is mandatory.
  • Step 4: Ask Clarification Questions:- The new grievance mechanisms under Resolution 600/2024 allow stakeholders to seek clarifications or challenge bid awards, though the limitation period is seven days with final determination by the administrative body president.
  • Step 5: Prepare Your Bid:- Prepare technical and financial proposals according to tender requirements. Resolution 600/2024 provides clearer contract execution guidelines including timelines, performance standards and penalties for non compliance.
  • Step 6: Obtain Required Bid Bond (تأمين العطاء):- Secure a bank guarantee or insurance certificate as specified in each tender. For large contracts, the Audit Bureau may require prior approval.
  • Step 7: Submit Your Bid Electronically:- Submit your bid through the ATTAAT platform. The platform is designed to organize procedures and prevent abuse of influence.
  • Step 8: Contract Award & Execution (الترسية):- If successful, sign the contract with the issuing authority. Contracts exceeding specified thresholds require prior Audit Bureau approval. Submit the final guarantee (تأمين نهائي).

Important for International Bidders: Libya's procurement reforms under Resolution 600/2024 are designed to encourage foreign investment and cross border cooperation. The country aims to align with international standards and improve its ease of doing business rankings. However, opaque pitfalls remain  including a seven day limitation period for grievances and decisions given solely to the president of the administrative body. Legal advice should be sought before bidding.

Local Contractor Note: The ATTAAT platform specifically guarantees the participation of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to support and promote economic development. Local suppliers should register early.

Can international companies bid on Libyan government tenders?

Yes (نعم). Libya's procurement reforms under Resolution 600/2024 are explicitly designed to facilitate foreign investment and cross-border cooperation, aiming for parity with international norms and improving Libya's rankings in global governance and ease of doing business indices. The ATTAAT platform is accessible to all registered suppliers, and the new legal framework encourages value-driven suppliers to participate in the country's reconstruction. For upstream oil & gas, the EPSA V licensing round is specifically designed to attract international E&P companies with improved contractor economics (IRRs up to 35.8%). However, international bidders should be aware of the seven day limitation period for grievances and the need for Audit Bureau approval for large contracts. Register now to access international opportunities in Libya.

What is the bid bond (تأمين العطاء) requirement for Libyan tenders?

Most Libyan government tenders require a "تأمين العطاء" (bid bond) or "خطاب ضمان" (bank guarantee). The exact percentage and format are specified in each tender's documents (وثائق العطاء). The bond is typically 1-5% of the estimated contract value. Under Resolution 600/2024, contracts exceeding specified thresholds require prior approval from the Audit Bureau (ديوان المحاسبة), adding an extra layer of scrutiny. The bond is returned to unsuccessful bidders after the tender process. For international bidders, bonds must be issued by banks recognized in Libya or through correspondent banking relationships. Missing or incorrect bid bond documents are a common reason for bid rejection. Contact us for guidance on bid bond requirements for specific tenders.

What is the EPSA V oil and gas licensing round?

Libya launched its first upstream licensing round in nearly two decades in March 2025 - the 2025 Licensing Round offering 22 blocks across the Sirte, Murzuq, and Ghadames basins, plus prospective offshore zones in the Mediterranean. The round introduces the "fifth generation" Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA V), which significantly improves contractor economics over the old EPSA-IV model. Key benefits for contractors: Internal rates of return (IRRs) up to 35.8% (compared to approx. 2.5% under EPSA IV); Removal of restrictive 'B-Factor' mechanism; 'Two bucket' cost recovery system that accelerates payback; NOC (National Oil Corporation) assumes tax payments, reducing fiscal complexity. These changes create a more transparent and commercially compelling environment for upstream investment, making Libya competitive with regional peers like Algeria and Egypt. Register now to access oil and gas opportunities in Libya.

How do I find UNDP tenders in Libya?

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Libya issues regular tenders for rehabilitation, construction, and development projects. To bid on UNDP tenders: Register on the UN Global Marketplace (UNGM) at ungm.org (Basic registration level is sufficient for many tenders); Monitor UNDP procurement notices directly or through our platform; Attend site visits when organized bidders are encouraged to attend to fully understand scope of work; Submit offers through the Quantum system as instructed in solicitation documents. On our platform, use the country filter (Libya) and search for "UNDP" or "United Nations" to find all related opportunities.

What is the role of the Audit Bureau in Libyan procurement?

Under Resolution No. 600 of 2024, the Audit Bureau (ديوان المحاسبة) has strengthened oversight powers over public procurement. Key responsibilities include: Prior approval requirement contracts exceeding specified thresholds require prior approval from the Audit Bureau; Monitoring public contracts the Bureau has powers to monitor public contracts more effectively during execution; Ensuring checks and balances reinforcing the integrity of the procurement process. While this enhanced oversight protects public funds, it can also create procedural rigidity that may test investor confidence. Bidders should factor in additional approval timelines when planning bids.

Are there SME preferences in Libyan government procurement?

Yes (نعم). The ATTAAT platform is explicitly designed to "provide opportunities and guarantee the participation of small and medium sized enterprises to support and promote economic development". The platform aims to: visualize procedures for control bodies; offer equal opportunities for SMEs; organize public affairs and procurement to prevent abuse of influence; protect public money. This is particularly beneficial for local Libyan suppliers and service providers. SMEs should register on the ATTAAT platform early to be eligible for these opportunities. Register on TendersArabia to find SME eligible tenders in Libya.

How does the grievance mechanism work under Resolution 600/2024?

Resolution 600/2024 introduces formal grievance mechanisms enabling stakeholders to challenge bid awards a positive step for transparency. However, there are notable limitations: Seven day limitation period grievances must be filed within 7 days of the award announcement; Final determination given solely to the president of the administrative body not an independent tribunal; Restricted direct commissioning direct awards are limited to rare cases. Critics argue the system remains "highly biased towards the State over contractors" who have to bear the burden of administrative processes, seeking credit lines, taxation, and payment recovery which only encourages the involvement of paymasters. Legal advice should be sought before filing a grievance.

Can I find subcontracting opportunities from Libyan contract awards?

Yes. Our Contract Awards database shows who won past tenders (ترسية العطاءات) in Libya. Once you identify prime contractors who won large reconstruction or infrastructure contracts, you can reach out to offer specialized services as a subcontractor or supplier. This is particularly effective in Libya's post cyclone reconstruction market, where prime contractors often need: Local suppliers for materials, logistics, and labour; Specialized engineering or technical services; SMEs with local knowledge for site specific work; International partners for complex technical requirements.
