Tender procedures in the UAE have a number of features, which, first of all, consist in the absence of uniform rules for their implementation. According to existing practice, information about planned tenders is published in publicly available sources of information only partially. In this case, only an invitation to tender and a general description are given publicity, while its parameters are contained in the tender documentation, which potential bidders usually need to redeem. Another important feature of the tender procedures in the UAE is the mandatory condition for admission to tenders only for companies registered in the UAE. They can be both local agent companies and foreign companies that have their representative offices in the country. This tolerance is expressed at the initial stage in the right to acquire the tender documentation, which describes the requirements of the tender (parameters, equipment manufacturers, etc.). (EXPIRED)
