Investing in Angola: The New Rules on Public Procurement

The current system of public procurement is governed by Law No. 20/10 of 7 September - the Public Procurement Law («PPL»). The PPL repealed the earlier legislation, in particular, Law No. 7/96 of 16 February and Decree No. 40/05 of 8 June, which established the rules in relation, respectively, to the system for public expenditure, the provision of services, the leasing and acquisition of goods, and to thee system for public works contracts. The PPL, therefore, consolidated both earlier systems into a single piece of legislation that has been in force since the 6 December 2010.
