Context and justification: The lack of transparency in the subcontracting market in our country and the lack of information on the technical skills of our SMEs are serious handicaps for the development of SMEs that, sometimes, watch helplessly the invasion of Foreign Service providers on various contracts, especially the subcontracting sector. There cent pipeline case is quite expressive. Moreover, in the current context of economic liberalization and globalization, and particularly the entry into force of the new Economic Partnership Agreement between Cameroon and the European Union, where the competitiveness of our enterprises will be severely tested, a series of activities to modernise the production system and the emergence of a modern national private sector have been implemented, including the establishment of the Subcontracting and Partnership Exchange (BSTP) which is an important asset to improve the competitiveness of our enterprises. In order to enable the effectiveness of its tasks, some actions have been undertaken by the Cameroon government, namely:
- circular No. 002/PM of 15 February 2012 laying down instructions on the modalities for the promotion of subcontracting in terms of partnership contracts and contracts negotiated within the implementation of other investment incentive schemes where the promoter should provide indication of his commitment to subcontract for at least 30% of the works and services during the installation phase of the project;
- subcontracting activities are under the supervision of the Ministry of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, Social Economy and Handicraft.
