The state-owned operator is seeking a platform for games of chance and sports betting, with bids due by November 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Key takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tunisia.- Tunisia\u2019s state-owned sports-betting operator Promosport <\/strong>has issued a tender for a multichannel platform covering games of chance and sports betting. Suppliers must submit bids by November 5<\/strong> 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\u2019s gambling framework for online betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tender, registered on the Tunisian Online E-Procurement System<\/strong> (TUNEPS) under reference number 20260901807-TUNEPS, identifies Promosport as the contracting organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Promosport operates under the supervision of Tunisia\u2019s Ministry of Youth and Sports<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tender covers games, lotto games, gambling services<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The operator had previously announced plans for a digital betting platform<\/strong>. In April 2023, Promosport\u2019s 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\u201324 sports season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tender comes amid wider scrutiny of online betting in Tunisia, where 23 MPs submitted a legislative proposal<\/a> in January 2026 to reform the country\u2019s 1974 gambling framework, particularly in relation to online gambling. The proposal was referred to parliament\u2019s General Legislation Committee for consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
