Mandatory accreditation required for Riyadh infrastructure projects from 2027
Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Center to enforce mandatory accreditation for project contractors starting January 2027 to boost sector quality and standards.
The Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Center announced plans to enforce mandatory accreditation for contractors executing infrastructure projects in the region, effective January 1, 2027. This initiative aims to elevate sector quality, boost standards, and reinforce compliance with key criteria. Only accredited companies will be authorized to undertake infrastructure works post the implementation date.
The center emphasizes that this measure is part of broader efforts to refine the infrastructure project execution system, enhance efficiency, and promote sustainability of assets and services for residents. Criteria for accreditation include minimum standards for competence, technical expertise, and financial solvency, culminating in a thorough assessment of contractors' readiness to deliver projects.
The accreditation process weighs technical and operational capabilities at 55%, financial stability at 25%, and professional experience record at 20%. This structured evaluation intends to foster a reliable execution framework, ensuring contractors' capacities align with project requirements. By setting unified standards, the center seeks to improve execution quality, mitigate operational risks, and elevate the overall efficiency of the infrastructure sector in Riyadh.
