EMIRATE OF DUBAI ECONOMIC SUPPLY PROJECTS (EDESP)
Public procurement in Dubai and the UAE at large is regulated under the Federal Decree No. 4 of 2018 (UAE Procurement Law) and its amendments. The UAE Procurement Law applies to procurement, supply contracts, works and providing services which are performed by the Government, ministries, State or federal bodies affiliated with the government. The UAE Procurement Law under Article 25 recognises different methods of procurements, including tendering, direct solicitations, mumarasa (negotiation), competitive dialogue and contest, etc. and sets out the procedure to be followed for undertaking procurement under each of these methods.
Apart from public procurement, public-private partnerships or PPP have been given strong impetus in the recent past. PPP is a contract between a government agency and private entity for performing a public project. The level of partnership between the entities generally depends on the project being developed. PPP could take the form of service contracts, management contracts, finance leasing contracts, concession contracts, BOT and BOOT contracts, etc. All PPPs are risk free-based partnerships with the nature & extent of risks depending on the project being undertaken. PPP contracts are typically on a long-term basis. PPP also attracts foreign investment and promotes economic growth of the country.
The Government of UAE issued Federal Decree No. 2/2017 setting out a high-level framework of guidelines and procedures for partnership with the private sector. The Dubai Decree No. 22 of 2015 is the relevant law for PPPs which is established in Dabai. Abu Dhabi has also issued Abu Dhabi Decree No. 2 of 2019 and Abu Dhabi Administrative Decree No 179 of 2020 on the regulation of PPP in Abu Dhabi and UAE at large.
