Mandatory Tenders Law (Amendment No. 26) Bill

What does the bill do?

The law provides that preference will be given in tenders of the state and of bodies required to hold tenders under the Mandatory Tenders Law to a micro, small or medium business in which 50% or more of the means of control are held by an active reservist who served at least 20 days of reserve service during the 12 months before the deadline for submitting bids in the tender. In a situation in which two or more bids received an identical weighted score in the tender, which is the highest bid, and one of them is from a business controlled by an active reservist – the reservist's bid will be chosen as the winning bid. The reservist must attach to their bid a declaration that they are an active reservist, that the business is under their control and that the bid is not from a subsidiary of a business that employs more than 100 employees or whose annual turnover exceeds 100 million new shekels.
