Use this working checklist to convert **UAE tender checklist** into a reviewable record. It is designed for completion by a named preparer and an independent approver, with applicability confirmed before evidence is requested.

*Reviewed: 5 October 2026. Owner: __________. Supplier: __________. Risk tier: __________. Review date: __________.*

## Completion rules

- Use **N/A with rationale** rather than leaving an item blank.
- Link or identify the evidence; do not paste unnecessary identity data into the checklist.
- A possible match, missing result or discrepancy requires review, not an automatic pass or fail.
- Every exception needs an accountable approver, compensating control, remediation owner and expiry date.
- Set both an evidence-expiry reminder and event-driven reassessment triggers.

## 1. Registration and eligibility

- ☐ Define the exact requirement and confirm whether **registration and eligibility** applies to this supplier and transaction.
- ☐ Record the legal entity, evidence source, retrieval date and reviewer.
- ☐ Compare supplier-declared information with the authoritative or independent evidence available.
- ☐ Mark the result as verified, supplier-declared, expired, unavailable or unresolved.
- ☐ Escalate material mismatches; record the decision, approver, conditions and next trigger.

**Evidence note:** Attach only evidence relevant to registration and eligibility; avoid unnecessary personal data. The reviewer should write one sentence explaining what the evidence establishes, one sentence recording any limitation, and the date or event that requires registration and eligibility to be checked again.

## 2. Bid authority

- ☐ Define the exact requirement and confirm whether **bid authority** applies to this supplier and transaction.
- ☐ Record the legal entity, evidence source, retrieval date and reviewer.
