Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the release of 116 tenders aimed at encouraging private sector participation, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), until the end of 2025. This initiative is part of the Dubai Government’s Public-Private Partnership Strategy for 2024-2026, which is designed to stimulate economic growth in the emirate.

The tender opportunities span various sectors such as services, consultancy, infrastructure, insurance, outsourcing, operations and maintenance, information technology, and investment. This move highlights RTA’s dedication to fostering collaboration with the private sector and national companies, creating a strong ecosystem for strategic partnerships and the development of innovative products and services.

Abdulla Yousef Al Ali, CEO of the Corporate Administrative Support Services Sector at RTA, emphasized that the authority is committed to strengthening partnerships with the private sector and creating commercial opportunities for both local and international companies. He noted that RTA actively supports Dubai’s business community through incentive-driven initiatives, including recognition programs for major companies that demonstrate strong collaboration with SMEs.

To facilitate participation, RTA has established specific qualification criteria for companies interested in contracting opportunities, which can be accessed through a streamlined digital process via RTA’s Electronic Prequalification System on its official website. This initiative aims to attract top-tier local and international companies, ensuring high-quality project delivery while enhancing sector-wide skills and advancing national talent.
