Tunisia.- Tunisia’s state-owned sports-betting operator Promosport has issued a tender for a multichannel platform covering games of chance and sports betting. Suppliers must submit bids by November 5 through the Tunisian Online E-Procurement System, as the government-supervised operator seeks to modernise its gaming infrastructure. The tender comes amid wider discussions about updating Tunisia’s gambling framework for online betting.
The tender, registered on the Tunisian Online E-Procurement System (TUNEPS) under reference number 20260901807-TUNEPS, identifies Promosport as the contracting organisation.
Promosport operates under the supervision of Tunisia’s Ministry of Youth and Sports. Its government links are reflected in board appointments, including a ministerial order issued in March 2026 appointing Najeh Delalli to represent the Ministry of Finance.
The tender covers games, lotto games, gambling services and betting services. Tender Impulse, an online government-tender information platform, also classifies the procurement as a services contract in the information and communications technology sector.
The operator had previously announced plans for a digital betting platform. In April 2023, Promosport’s chairman and managing director, Adel Zeramdini, said the project was expected to generate TND100m (US$32.5m) in revenue for the state over ten years, equivalent to TND10m (US$3.25m) annually. The report said the platform was being developed with an Italian partner and was expected to launch during the 2023–24 sports season.
The tender listing does not specify which channels the platform must support, whether it will introduce new betting products or expand existing services, or whether a supplier has been selected.
The tender comes amid wider scrutiny of online betting in Tunisia, where 23 MPs submitted a legislative proposal in January 2026 to reform the country’s 1974 gambling framework, particularly in relation to online gambling. The proposal was referred to parliament’s General Legislation Committee for consideration.
