The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing has launched the Contractor Qualification Service for the Municipal Sector through the Balady Business platform, enabling contracting companies to meet qualification requirements and obtain accreditation in accordance with unified standards, while enhancing the efficiency of service providers and strengthening their readiness to deliver municipal works and projects.
The Ministry explained that the service organizes the contractor qualification process, beginning with the completion of regulatory and technical requirements, followed by an assessment of each company against quality and operational readiness standards, and leading to accreditation for the targeted municipal services and areas.
It stated that the qualification requirements include holding a valid commercial registration and municipal license, holding the required contractor classification certificate and memberships, and having the necessary technical personnel and expertise, in addition to completing the required data and documents through the Balady Business platform.
It affirmed that the service applies unified assessment standards to assess contractors' efficiency, reliability, readiness, and capacity to carry out works and deliver municipal services in accordance with the approved technical and professional requirements.
The Ministry indicated that contracting companies have been granted a grace period until June 30, 2027, to complete the qualification and accreditation requirements, encouraging them to take advantage of the grace period and promptly complete the required procedures through the platform.
It added that qualification enables contracting companies to become eligible and ready to operate within the targeted municipal services and areas, while improving the quality of completed works and the efficiency of service delivery to beneficiaries. The Ministry noted that the service is available electronically through the Balady Business platform, where companies can complete their data, attach the required documents, and track the qualification process through to final accreditation.
