Cleaning procurement should distinguish ordinary cleaning from disinfection and other specialist activities. The permissions, competence and evidence relevant to the contract depend on the work and its location. Start by defining the scope accurately, then ask the contractor and the customer's responsible safety or compliance team to identify the applicable review requirements.

Confirm the legal entity on the quotation, agreement and invoice. Use the appropriate official business-licence enquiry route and ask the contractor to explain the activity covered. The UAE government's licence-verification directory provides several enquiry options; select the one relevant to the entity and record the date of the check.
Identify subcontracted work and who remains accountable for it. A general cleaning contract should not silently expand into a specialist service because a subcontractor is available. Require a scope and evidence review before accepting a materially different activity or delivery arrangement.
Dubai Municipality's health and safety approved-list page provides routes to information on approved professional-use biocides and accredited cleaning and disinfection companies. For a Dubai disinfection requirement, that is a relevant official starting point for checking the proposed claim and current scope. It is not evidence that every ordinary cleaner needs the same approval, nor a substitute for checking requirements in another emirate.
Ask for evidence linked to the actual company, product or service being offered. Do not rely on a copied logo or a document whose scope nobody has reviewed. Refer uncertainty to the appropriate authority or competent adviser before the customer treats the claim as established.
Have the responsible site team assess the proposed work, materials, equipment and access arrangements. Request the information needed for that review, including relevant product documentation and task assessments. This article does not prescribe chemical concentrations, mixing methods or technical cleaning procedures; those decisions belong with competent personnel and applicable instructions.
Agree how the contractor reports an incident, damaged surface or task outside its approved capability. Staff should have a clear escalation route rather than pressure to improvise. Keep high-access, hazardous and specialist environmental work separate unless expressly evaluated and included.
Record the service, sites and evidence reviewed, along with any conditions. Revisit approval when the scope, materials or delivery entity changes materially. A dated, activity-specific record helps procurement use the contractor responsibly without presenting one initial document check as permanent approval for every service it may later advertise.
