Saudi Minister of Finance Mohammed Al-Jadaan approved 7 controls for contracting, purchasing, and quantities, as part of efforts to develop the government procurement system, enhance spending efficiency, and strengthen governance and compliance in contracting and purchasing processes, contributing to achieving the best value for public money and improving the quality of government services.

The Expenditure Efficiency and Government Projects Authority prepares the controls for contracting, purchasing, and quantities, which are specialized regulatory documents for specific government procurement services. Government entities subject to the Government Tenders and Procurement Law are obligated to rely on them when preparing tender documents and specifications, ensuring the unification of purchasing practices and enhancing compliance with relevant regulations and legislation.

Enhancing spending efficiency

The controls aim to provide government entities with a unified framework and technical standards that help determine the actual need for target procurements, raise planning and purchasing efficiency, and improve the quality of tender document preparation. They also contribute to enhancing spending efficiency, in addition to reducing the time spent on preparing specifications by providing a unified technical and regulatory reference that supports government entities in various stages of purchasing and contracting.

The approved controls include: catering services for military and security sectors, city cleaning services, park, afforestation, and irrigation services (urban scope), security guard services, marketing services, uniforms, and furniture purchase. These controls cover technical and regulatory requirements and contracting and purchasing mechanisms, enhancing the unification of specifications and conditions among government entities.

The adoption of these controls comes as an extension of the development of enablers, policies, and regulatory tools for government procurement, contributing to raising government spending efficiency, enhancing financial sustainability, and achieving the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
