Public Private Partnerships and Concessions in Tunisia
Infrastructure and strategic development projects require more than funding and technical capacity — they require a solid legal foundation. Concession and Public-Private Partnerships in Tunisia operate at the intersection of public law, investment regulation, and complex contractual frameworks. Kemicha Law Firm advises sponsors, investors, lenders, and public entities on structuring, negotiating, and implementing concession agreements and PPP projects in Tunisia. Our role is to ensure legal certainty, regulatory compliance, and long-term contractual stability.
Structuring Sustainable PPP and Concession Projects
From Concept to Contract
Public-Private Partnerships in Tunisia must be carefully designed to balance public interest objectives with private sector returns. We assist clients from the early feasibility phase through to financial close and operational implementation.
Our advisory includes:
- Legal structuring of concession and PPP frameworks
- Analysis of Tunisian regulatory and procurement requirements
- Drafting and negotiation of concession agreements
- Allocation of risk between public authorities and private operators
- Support in tender procedures and competitive bidding
We focus on clarity in risk allocation, bankability of contracts, and enforceability under Tunisian law.
Regulatory Compliance and Institutional Coordination
PPP and concession projects in Tunisia often involve multiple stakeholders — ministries, regulatory authorities, state-owned entities, and financing institutions. Navigating this environment requires technical precision and strategic coordination.
Our team ensures compliance with applicable public procurement rules, investment regulations, and sector-specific legislation. We work closely with project participants to anticipate legal constraints and prevent delays.
Financing, Guarantees and Project Security
Protecting Long-Term Investment
Long-term infrastructure projects demand robust legal safeguards. We assist in structuring financing documentation, security packages, and guarantee mechanisms aligned with concession and PPP frameworks in Tunisia.
Our work includes:
- Review of project finance agreements
- Coordination with lenders and financial institutions
- Analysis of government guarantees and termination compensation clauses
- Dispute prevention mechanisms embedded within project documentation
We aim to strengthen legal resilience and minimize exposure to contractual or regulatory risk over the life of the project.
