Cambodia enacted a law on public procurement in January 2012, which codified the pre-existing patchwork of sub-decrees and other regulations governing the sector.  Competitive bidding is mandatory for the purchase of goods or services worth more than $25,000 (100 million riel). 

The Cambodian government is required to seek international bids for the purchase of goods valued at over $500,000; construction projects valued at over $625,000; and for services valued at more than $375,000.

Cambodia is not a signatory to the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement.

Many governments finance public works projects through borrowing from the Multilateral Development Banks. Please refer to “Project Financing” Section in “Trade and Project Financing” for more information.  [In Salesforce insert a link to the Project Financing Section of the CCG]
