Do I need to register before I bid on a UAE tender?

Yes. The UAE government portal says all bidders must register on the right eProcurement system first. Each emirate has its own system.

How long does federal supplier registration take?

The UAE government portal says accounts are activated within 30 working days if all requirements are completed. You must renew the registration every year.

Can a foreign company bid on UAE federal tenders?

Yes. The UAE government portal names foreign companies outside the UAE as eligible to register in the Federal Supplier Register. They must register first.

What language are UAE federal tender documents in?

Arabic. Article 39 of Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2023 lets the buyer use English instead if it decides this is necessary. Article 4 lists construction among the exceptions to that Law, so check your tender.

Where can I find construction tenders in the UAE?

Q: Where are UAE government tenders published?

Federal tenders are on the Digital Procurement Platform. Dubai uses eSupply and Abu Dhabi uses its Government Procurement Gate. Other emirates have their own portals.

UAE federal tenders are published on the Ministry of Finance's Digital Procurement Platform. Dubai uses eSupply and Abu Dhabi uses its Government Procurement Gate. Each system needs its own supplier registration before you can bid.

We checked these sources in November 2026. We could not open Dubai's eSupply, so its entry follows the UAE government portal. The tender's own documents always decide.
