Official Announcement No.(41) For The Year 1990

 

Excluding my announcement no.(20) for the year 1986, stating that governmental institutions are not entitled to award any tender on foreign companies unless these companies appoint a Jordanian agent, or open registered offices in Jordan. Foreign companies who have no agent or registered office in Jordan, are entitled to participate in the governmental tenders concerning purchases which could be financed (in future) from the fund dedicated for the correctional policies in both the industry & trade sectors, offered from the World Bank and the other parties participating with it (Japan & Germany) , provided that the foreign company wins the tender shall appoint a local agent or open an official office for it in Jordan, if it has no agent or registered office before winning the tender.

Thus, the subsequent appointment of the agent or registration of the office should not be considered as a violation for the rules of the announcement, in case the aforesaid loan financing was not been obtained.

Official Announcement No.(20) For The Year 1986

 

It was noticed that some ministries, depts. and governmental establishments are awarding their tenders directly on foreign companies and without appointing a Jordanian agent/ mediator or even having officially registered offices for these companies in Jordan.

Whereas, such measures may deprive a large number of Jordanian establishments, of practicing their right for which they were been established. Adding thereto, may prevent these participating companies from paying the income tax which will be imposed thereon, as a result of executing their obligation.

Therefore, all the concerned governmental parties are kindly requested to adhere to this announcement, by refraining from awarding any of their tenders on foreign companies, unless these companies appoint a Jordanian agent or duly establish a registered office for them in Jordan.
