The reform of public procurement through Decree No. 2018/366 of June 20, 2018 on the Public Procurement Code has greatly enhanced the powers of the public procurement authority in Cameroon. The designation of the Minister in charge of public procurement by decree n° 2012/075 of March 8, 2012 on the organization of the Ministry of Public Procurement as the authority in charge of public procurement has been strengthened by the reform. The decentralized local authorities (CTD) are freely administered. According to the provisions of the General Decentralization Code, together with those of the new Public Procurement Code, the Mayor and the President of the Regional Council are the contracting authorities for the local authorities. In this capacity, they place and execute the local public order, and the role in this case refers to the powers entrusted to an institution, in this case the contracting authority. The latter is the Minister Delegate of the Presidency in charge of Public Procurement.
