Qualification & Classification des Entreprises de BTP
The Ministry of Equipment and Water's qualification and classification system for construction firms
Market position
Morocco's system of qualification and classification of building and public works (BTP) firms was set up by Décret n° 2-94-223 of 16 June 1994 and is run by the Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Eau through national and regional commissions. For each sector of activity it defines classes, the thresholds for each class and the maximum annual contract amount a firm of that class can be admitted to bid for. Since 2020 applications are filed online, and part of the work has moved to the ministry's regional directorates.

Why this matters for Morocco trades
The DGI issues the identifiant fiscal (IF), runs SIMPL for TVA, IS and salary declarations, and is preparing e-invoicing in phases from late 2026, large companies and public-sector suppliers first (Hespress, August 2026). Under Décret n° 2-94-223, the Ministère de l’Équipement et de l’Eau qualifies and classifies BTP firms, and a firm’s class sets the maximum contract amount it can bid for; each tender file states the sector, qualification and class it requires. Moroccan press reported in January 2025 that Tous Risques Chantier and RC décennale insurance had become mandatory, and Wafa Assurance says its décennale cover depends on the works being checked by an approved technical-control body. Employers declare salaries and pay contributions through the CNSS Damancom portal, and public tender rules ask bidders for a CNSS certificate issued within the last year; the ICE has been mandatory on official documents since 1 July 2016, and invoices without it can be rejected by the tax administration, per Hespress.
Moroccan construction and trades software selection is shaped by the DGI’s planned electronic invoicing (due to start in phases from late 2026 with large companies and public-sector suppliers, according to Hespress, with the technical rules not yet published in August 2026), Tous Risques Chantier and RC décennale insurance (reported as mandatory since January 2025), TVA and mandatory invoice mentions such as the ICE, CNSS salary declarations and contributions through Damancom, and the qualification and classification of BTP firms by the Ministère de l’Équipement et de l’Eau for public tenders.
