# Appointment of a lawyer to represent the National Institute of Nutrition

The National Institute “Zouheir Kallel” of Nutrition and Food Technology in Tunis seeks a lawyer or professional law firm to represent it before courts and other judicial, administrative, regulatory, and arbitral bodies for the stated 2026-2028 mandate period. The official notice is for one service lot under an open tender. It requires technical and administrative offer documents in sealed envelopes and states an offer-validity period of 90 days; the detail page separately lists 120 days. The public notice gives 9 November 2026 at 11:00, with no timezone stated, while the portal detail gives only the date. The precise local cutoff time and controlling validity period therefore remain unresolved.
