Tunisia’s state-owned sports betting operator Promosport has issued a tender for a multichannel platform covering games of chance, lottery products and sports betting services.
The procurement listing, published through the Tunisian Online E-Procurement System, sets 5 November 2026 as the deadline for bids. This document does not specify which channels must be supported, whether new betting products are planned or whether a supplier has already been selected.
New Tender Covers Games Of Chance, Lottery Products And Sports Betting
The tender was published under reference number 20260901807-TUNEPS. It is intended to cover the design or operation of a platform capable of supporting Promosport’s wider betting and gaming offering.
However, the available notice provides limited technical information. It does not confirm whether the system will cover web, mobile, retail or other channels, and if additional products will be introduced.
Promosport operates under government supervision. A ministerial order issued in March 2026 appointed Najeh Delalli to represent the Ministry of Finance on the company’s board.
Procurement Follows Earlier Online Betting Platform Contract
The latest tender follows an earlier Promosport procurement published in September 2025. That process sought a provider to design, develop, implement and manage an online betting platform, including maintenance and technical support.
Tunisia’s High Authority for Public Procurement Control and Auditing recorded that the earlier contract was awarded on 26 December 2025, with work scheduled to begin on 2 January 2026 and run for 360 days.
It remains unclear why Promosport has launched another tender for a similar platform. The available records do not explain whether the new procurement concerns a separate project, a replacement system or an extension of the earlier contract.
Promosport announced plans for a digital betting platform in 2023. Its then-chairman Adel Zeramdini estimated that the project could generate TND100 million in state revenue over 10 years, although there is no confirmation of the platform launch’s success.
Proposed Gambling-Law Changes Could Affect The Platform’s Future
The procurement comes while Tunisian lawmakers consider amendments to the country’s gambling framework.
A proposal submitted by 23 MPs in January 2026 would amend Decree-Law No. 20 of 1974, which governs gaming establishments, games of chance and lotteries. The proposal includes online gambling but has not yet become law.
Promosport’s tender does not explain whether the procurement is connected to the proposed legal changes. Any amendments will depend on the parliamentary process and could affect the platform’s eventual scope, licensing requirements and operating model.
The tender indicates that Tunisia views digital betting as a potential source of state revenue and a way to modernise Promosport’s operations. It also raises questions about delivery of the earlier project. Before suppliers commit more resources, Promosport must clarify the technical requirements, legal framework and relationship between the two tenders.
