Public procurement: exclusions for false documents more than doubled in 2025, reaching 65 companies

Cameroon’s Ministry of Public Contracts (MINMAP) excluded 65 companies from public procurement in 2025 for submitting false documents and engaging in fraudulent practices, up from 28 in 2024—a 132.1% increase. The state budget execution report published on November 2, 2026, by the Directorate General of the Budget also records an increase in contract terminations attributed solely to companies, from 46 to 99. Of those terminations, 49 stemmed from abandoned work identified by 26 contracting authorities. The report gives neither the contract values nor the value of work left unfinished, preventing an assessment of the financial cost of the abandonments.
