Due diligence on a UAE wellbeing provider's partner network

In brief

A wellbeing programme may be sold by one company while salons, venues, facilitators or healthcare providers deliver the activities. The buyer needs to know how those partners are selected and what happens when they change. A single invoice does not establish that every service in the network has been assessed for the employer's programme.

Map each activity to its provider

Ask for the delivering entity, location and relevant professional role for the services proposed. Distinguish a voucher distributor from a provider responsible for the actual service. Identify which partners are confirmed and which remain options in a catalogue.

The review should follow the activity. A general education facilitator, a beauty venue and a clinical provider may require different evidence and should not be approved through one undifferentiated wellness checkbox.

Examine selection and substitution controls

Ask how the programme company verifies partner suitability and communicates changes. Have the relevant qualified owners assess activity-specific requirements and jurisdiction. The employer should approve material changes before employees are directed to a different service or location.

For example, replacing a venue with another branch may alter access, available services or appointment conditions. A similar brand name does not establish that the employee offer remains the same.

Trace participant information and complaints

Identify which parties receive booking details and what information returns to the programme company or employer. Have the privacy owner assess the actual flow. The buyer should not assume that all partners follow the same reporting arrangement without evidence.

Ask who coordinates a complaint when the participant booked through the programme platform but received the service elsewhere. Employees should have a clear route that does not require them to disclose sensitive details repeatedly to several intermediaries.

Keep responsibility visible in the agreement

Record the programme company's accountability for accurate listings, booking coordination and commercial reconciliation. Clarify which professional service responsibilities remain with the delivering provider and how the participant is informed. Have appropriate legal review of the actual terms.

Retain the assessed partner list and review material updates. The due-diligence outcome should support the defined employee offer, not make a blanket claim that every present or future service advertised by the network is suitable for the workforce. A transparent partner model can be useful when its responsibilities and limits are understandable.
