Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for most major entities (ADNOC, Etimad), a valid UAE Commercial Registration is a prerequisite. However, some initial pre-qualifications can be started with a foreign entity profile.
Etimad is the unified electronic platform for government procurement. If you want to bid on any government contract (Ministries, Municipalities), you must be registered and classified on Etimad.
Processing times vary, but typically issuing a Vendor Code takes 2-4 weeks after submission, provided all technical and financial documents are in order. Technical prequalification for specific materials can take longer.
