Law No. CL 06 2009-009 setting the general rules for public procurement and public-service works concession agreements (reproduction for material errors)

Voted by Haiti's Corps Législatif on the joint proposal of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Economy and Finance, Law No. CL 06 2009-009 replaces the 2004 procurement decree with a full legislative framework governing public procurement and public-service concession/BOT agreements. It applies to the State, territorial collectivities, autonomous administrative and financial public bodies, mixed enterprises with majority public capital, and to externally financed contracts whose financing agreements do not otherwise override the law (though such contracts must still be reported to the Commission Nationale des Marchés Publics).

Title I sets out founding principles (free access to public procurement, equal treatment and transparency, ethics, efficiency of public spending), scope of application, and exemptions (national defense/security contracts, state-of-emergency procurement, small purchases below threshold). Chapter II provides an extensive glossary defining every key procurement actor and instrument (contracting authority, concession-granting authority, tender, works/supply/service/intellectual-service contracts, dispute-settlement committee, validation, etc.), establishing the technical vocabulary used throughout Haiti's public procurement system since 2009.
