Muscat: The Sultanate of Oman's Tender Board has issued Circular No. 2025/2, directing all the ministries and government units under the Tender Law to stop awarding contracts to private sector companies that do not meet the approved Omanisation rates.
The General Secretariat of the Tender Board would like to inform all entities subject to the provisions of the Tender Law to take action regarding the complete non-contracting of private sector companies that do not comply with the Omanisation rates approved by the government, by doing the following:
1. Include the clause related to compliance with Omanisation requirements and the employment of the national workforce, according to the attached format, in the tender documents before the tender is issued.
2. Verify that companies meet Omanisation requirements through the data available in the electronic tendering system (Esnad), based on direct connection with the Ministry of Labor, before awarding the tender.
3. Compliance with Omanisation provisions for international companies and institutions not registered in the Sultanate of Oman will be monitored when participating in international tenders after the award and during contract implementation, as part of the local content plan.
All entities are urged to adhere to this circular for the public good.
