What to Check Before Awarding a Technical Services Package in the UAE

A practical checklist for contractors and facility teams awarding steel, glass, plaster, tiling, plumbing, cleaning, or electrical fittings works in the UAE.

Choosing a technical services contractor is often treated as a price exercise. On site, the difference shows in setting-out, supervision, finishing, and how problems are reported. Before awarding a package, confirm that the company is licensed for the exact trades required. A broad contracting claim is not the same as a defined license for steel, glass and aluminum, plaster, plumbing, tiling, cleaning, wallpaper, or electrical fittings maintenance.

Ask how the work will be supervised. A package without a site contact quickly becomes a collection of technicians working to their own standard. Supervision should cover sequence, protection of adjacent works, safety, and daily close-up of the area.

Also check how scope will be confirmed. Drawings, photos, access limits, working hours, and a target programme should be agreed before mobilisation. Vague scope creates variation claims and delay. Finally, ask how handover will be handled: inspection, snagging, and a clean work area.
