Tendering Opportunities

Our Procurement activities are now executed through the Digital Marketplace, launched by the Department of Government Support and powered by SAP Ariba.

SAP Ariba is a collaborative, web-based tool that enables buyers and suppliers to manage procurement electronically. It provides a unique digital experience and enhances transparency and efficiency of public procurement.
Suppliers interested in doing business with us should register on SAP Ariba. The registration is a one-time activity centralised for all Abu Dhabi Government Entities. Please visit Becoming a Registered Supplier for more information.
After successful registration, suppliers are able to participate in the following procurement activities through SAP Ariba:

Tendering - Abu Dhabi Government Entities publish two types of tenders:
- Public Tenders – All Public Tenders are published in the Digital Marketplace and are open to all suppliers. Please visit Public Tender List and filter by the Entity Name and category to see the list of relevant Public Tenders.
- Limited Tenders - Suppliers invited to participate in Limited Tenders receive an invitation email and are able to see the specific sourcing event on their SAP Ariba dashboard.
Contracting - Contracts are now created, amended and managed electronically shortening the cycle time and enhancing collaboration.

Safety

Our organisation is committed to promoting safety in communities and workspaces. As such, we will only consider, select, and conduct business with those suppliers who can demonstrate the same degree of concern for safety.

Suppliers must provide a safe and healthy working environment that complies with occupational health, safety laws, standards, policies and practices. The Department of Culture & Tourism encourages its suppliers to maintain a safety programme that addresses typical health and safety risks for their industry and also conducts systematic reviews for continuously improving the working environment. We further expect our suppliers to identify, assess and minimise emergency situations affecting the workplace by implementing and maintaining effective emergency plans and response procedures.

Business Integrity

We strive to achieve the highest ethical standards which extends to our suppliers. It is our policy to achieve the highest level of market competition, ensuring equal and non-preferential treatment of all bidders in the tendering process.

Our employees are obligated to avoid conflicts of interest and to comply with a Fraud Control Policy and Employee Code of Conduct, including the following concepts relating to supplier relationships:

Our organisation expects our suppliers to act ethically and to comply with the laws that apply to their businesses. Our suppliers should establish and adhere to their own high standards of business conduct.
We do not allow suppliers to induce its employees to violate this Code. Similarly, we do not influence suppliers to violate our standards or their own standards of proper business conduct.
Our employees must never engage in any unethical or illegal conduct with our suppliers. Our employees do not accept gifts, entertainment, kickbacks, or bribes as incentives for conducting business with them. Unless expressly authorised to do so, we do not share our confidential and proprietary information with suppliers, nor do we disclose suppliers’ confidential and proprietary information to others.
We do not participate in any activities with our suppliers that would give one supplier an unfair advantage or preferential treatment over other suppliers. As such, suppliers, consultants, and contractors are expected to adhere to the highest standards of ethical business practice.
A Supplier Code of Conduct is sent to all suppliers seeking to do business with us in order to comply with Abu Dhabi Government laws.
