Case Study

Accreditation key to the awarding of government contracts for contractors and consultations

The Jordanian Government Tenders Directorate (GTD) is responsible for the classification of contractors and consultants, and for their qualification in coordination with the relevant authority. It is also responsible for the unification of conditions for the holding of contractual and technical service agreements, and the terms of reference and procedures for bidding for contracts.

In 2006, a decision was issued that the GTD will consider accreditation as the key condition for the use of technical services and the qualification of contractors and consultants for government tenders.

Further information is available on the GTD website.
