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.

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
