About The Event
As Saudi Arabia accelerates its economic diversification under Vision 2030, the Local Content and Government Procurement Authority (LCGPA) has implemented strict frameworks to ensure national spending supports the local economy. “Saudi Tenders: Local Content Requirements Needed for Qualification” is a practical, experience-led discussion designed to demystify these rules. The event brings together AstroLabs’ deep regional expansion expertise and the technical advisory of Massoni Advisory to provide a clear roadmap for international and local firms aiming to secure high-value government and semi-government projects.
What To Expect
This session moves beyond theory to offer practical guidance on the mechanics of Saudi procurement. Attendees will gain insights into:
- Structure of Requirements: An overview of how local content is defined and mandated across different sectors in Saudi tenders.
- Scoring & Evaluation: A deep dive into the 40% weight often allocated to local content in financial evaluations and how to optimize your score.
- Common Pitfalls: Identifying the frequent mistakes—such as unsustainable bid commitments or misinterpretation of cost categories—that lead to disqualification.
- Bid Strategy: Learning how to leverage local content as a competitive advantage rather than a regulatory burden.
- Qualification Readiness: What a “bid-ready” legal and financial posture looks like in practice for 2026.
