Vietnam issues new decree on online PPP investor selection

The Vietnamese government has issued Decree 377/2026/ND-CP, amending regulations regarding the roadmap for selecting investors through online platforms for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects.

Under the new roadmap, starting January 1, 2027, the submission of PPP project proposals must be conducted via the National Bidding Network System. From September 1, 2027, the selection of investors for PPP projects using the open bidding method must also be performed online through this system.

Projects involving competitive negotiation, investor designation, or special selection cases are exempt from the online selection requirement; however, information regarding these selections must still be publicly disclosed on the National Bidding Network System in accordance with the Law on PPP.
