Abu Dhabi Government Procurement Gate (ADGPG) document checklist

What Abu Dhabi Government Procurement Gate (ADGPG) asks for.

• Trade License

  CriticalRequiredVerified evidence

  Commercial, Industrial or Trade Licence. Suppliers holding a valid Abu Dhabi DED licence self-register directly; suppliers without one (other-emirate and international suppliers) cannot self-register and must instead have an Abu Dhabi Government entity raise an "Entity Request" on their behalf — so an out-of-emirate licence is not a rejection, but it does change the route. Must be valid and not expiring within 30 days.

• VAT Certificate

  HighRequiredVerified evidence

  FTA Tax Registration Certificate showing the 15-digit TRN. ADGPG uniquely allows a documented exemption in place of the certificate: a supplier below the VAT registration threshold may instead submit a valid justification on company letterhead. Entity name must match the trade licence.

• Power of Attorney

  HighRequiredVerified evidence

  Authorisation letter on company letterhead naming the individual authorised to submit registration information on the supplier's behalf. Must be on letterhead, name the specific person, and be signed and stamped. This is an ADGPG-specific document that most other UAE portals do not ask for and that vendors routinely omit.

• Bank Confirmation Letter

  HighRequiredVerified evidence

  Bank Account Confirmation Letter on bank letterhead, stamped, showing the company name, IBAN (AE format) and SWIFT/BIC. Account holder name must match the trade licence exactly — payment details drive supplier master data on Ariba, so mismatches block onboarding rather than merely delaying it.

• Corporate Tax Registration

  MediumPreferredVerified evidence

  UAE Corporate Tax registration certificate / Corporate Tax Registration Number issued by the Federal Tax Authority via EmaraTax. Registration is federally mandatory for all juridical persons under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 (deadlines per FTA Decision No. 3 of 2024; AED 10,000 late-registration penalty), and entities incorporated on or after 2024-03-01 must register within 3 months of incorporation. Listed as PREFERRED rather than required because this specific portal has not been confirmed to demand the certificate in its submission pack — the obligation to hold one is federal, the obligation to upload it is portal-specific. Note the Corporate Tax registration number is distinct from the VAT TRN. On ADGPG the separately-listed "Tax Registration Certificate" is mapped to vat_certificate (its conditional exemption only makes sense for VAT), so Corporate Tax stays advisory here.
