Public transactions in Algeria between the legislative text and implementation difficulties: an analytical study in light of Law 23- 12

Abstract

      This study attempts to shed light on public procurement as the most effective legal and economic tool for implementing the government's development plans, based primarily on the mechanism and regulation of public procurement, which has undergone numerous amendments and changes, culminating in Law 23-12, which introduced a number of features.

The results of the study showed that although the enactment of Law 23-12 was a step forward in framing public procurement within a clear legislative system, the practical application of this law reveals a significant gap between the legal text and the reality on the ground. Its implementation on the ground continues to face a number of difficulties in achieving its strategic objectives, which makes the application of the new law a real test of the state's ability to establish a transparent, fair and effective institutional environment in the field of public procurement in Algeria.
