Overview
Saudi Arabia's Giga-Projects — NEOM, The Line, Diriyah Gate, and others — operate under a rigorous vendor pre-qualification framework mandated by the Project Management Office (PMO). This article explains how Qimta simplifies compliance for procurement teams.
Required Certifications
- ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System
- Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) product certification
- Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) e-invoicing compliance
- Ministry of Commerce commercial registration
Qimta's Automated Verification Engine
Qimta connects to the SASO portal and ZATCA APIs in real time to validate supplier certifications before they are permitted to bid on any project-linked purchase order. Expired certificates are automatically flagged and the supplier is notified 30 days before expiry.
Audit Trail Management
Every verification action is logged with a timestamp, user ID, and document version number. The resulting audit trail meets the requirements of Saudi Vision 2030's National Transformation Program for public sector procurement transparency.
