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.

year 1986, some ministries, departments
and public institutions are still

appointing any Jordanian mediator or
even having registered offices for them
in Jordan.
Therefore, I do hereby emphasis on the
necessity of abiding by not to award any
tender on foreign companies unless these
companies duly appoint a Jordanian
