How they buy

Saudi government procurement is centralised on Etimad, the national platform, through which ministries, agencies, health clusters and municipalities publish competitions. Notices are published in Arabic and the platform distinguishes competition types — general competition, limited competition and direct purchase — with the activity classification stated on each notice.

Across the media, printing & advertising notices we currently hold for Saudi Arabia, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by request for proposal. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Bidding requires registration on Etimad and a commercial registration, and most competitions require the bidder to be locally registered or working through a local entity. The Local Content and Government Procurement Authority rules give weight to local content in evaluation for many categories, so the share of Saudi content in your offer can affect scoring as well as eligibility. Documents and correspondence are generally in Arabic.

Media and communications procurement covers everything from bulk printing and signage supply to full campaign development and event documentation. Creative work is usually evaluated on quality as well as price, often requiring sample work, a creative pitch or storyboard alongside the technical proposal. Printing and signage contracts, by contrast, are typically rate contracts decided on price against a fixed specification. Check who owns the copyright in delivered work and whether media buying is included in or excluded from the fee.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
