Dubai Government eSupply document checklist
The documents Dubai Government eSupply asks a vendor to submit, extracted from its own published requirements wherever available, with every item cited to its source and rated for how good that evidence actually is — not a generic template.
What Dubai Government eSupply asks for.
Trade License
CriticalRequiredVerified evidenceValid Dubai DET or UAE free zone trade licence. The licence number is captured at registration, and the licence ACTIVITIES then drive the "General Business Classification" the supplier selects — the classification list is derived from Department of Economic Development activity codes, so a licence whose activities do not cover the intended supply category cannot be classified correctly. Note eSupply is a paid portal: a supplier registration fee applies before you can participate in tendering.

Company Profile
MediumRequiredVerified evidenceCompany details section of the entity pre-qualification form. Each Dubai Government entity publishes its own pre-qualification form on eSupply; the supplier must complete the form for every entity it wants to trade with, not just register once.

Audited Financial Statements
HighRequiredVerified evidenceFinancial details section of the entity pre-qualification form — audited financial statements with a signed and stamped auditor's report. The number of years required is set by the individual entity's form, not by eSupply centrally; upload the entity's own form as a custom checklist to check that precisely.

VAT Certificate
MediumPreferredInferred evidenceFTA VAT registration certificate with 15-digit TRN. Not named in the eSupply registration flow itself, but universally requested by Dubai Government entity pre-qualification forms and required for invoicing. Treated as preferred rather than required because no primary source read this pass names it at the registration gate.

Corporate Tax Registration
MediumPreferredVerified evidenceUAE 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.

This is a starting point, not a live feed from Dubai Government eSupply. Portals change their requirements without notice, and unverified/inferred items above are exactly that — not confirmed against the portal's own current published list. Always cross-check against Dubai Government eSupply's current requirements before submitting. If you have the portal's own requirement document, SoulMen can extract and verify against exactly what it says instead of this starter checklist.
