Public procurement in Israel is governed by, inter alia, the Mandatory Tenders Law of 1992, which requires public bodies to award contracts through open, fair and transparent tender processes. Exemptions exist for low-value contracts and urgent or sensitive engagements, but courts have consistently reinforced the core principles of equality and competition. Recent case law has also clarified when a concluded contract may be amended without triggering a new tender procedure, particularly in complex, long-term infrastructure agreements where circumstances could not have been foreseen at the outset.
