Guiding Principles for Procurement

To deliver, operate and maintain world-class airport infrastructure and facilities, Abu Dhabi Airports partners with the best suppliers of goods and services, guided by strong procurement principles that ensure our teams remain committed, collaborative and exceptional.

How We Procure

Working primarily from our headquarters, our procurement team's main objectives are securing the best value for money and maximising operational benefits for Abu Dhabi Airports.

We support all Abu Dhabi Airports' departments in meeting their requirements and achieving their goals.

Ethics-Based Procurement

As a responsible corporate entity in a competitive marketplace, our procurement team at Abu Dhabi Airports focuses on:

Ensuring accountability in our relationships with both potential and established vendors. Read about how we achieve this using our e-Sourcing technology

Achieving the highest degree of market competition when soliciting bids or proposals

Ensuring equal, fair and non-preferential treatment across all bids and proposals throughout the procurement process — all bids and proposals are uniformly solicited, evaluated and awarded on this basis

Maintaining the highest standards of corporate responsibility in relation to all stakeholders and the environment.

Sustainable Procurement

Abu Dhabi Airports is committed to conducting its business operations in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. As part of this commitment, we recognise the importance of sustainability in our supply chain and are committed to promoting sustainable practices throughout it.

We take our responsibilities to the communities and the environment in which we operate seriously. To this end, some of our key procurement initiatives have included:

As a responsible corporate entity in a competitive marketplace, our procurement team at Abu Dhabi Airports focuses on:

1.

Promoting the use of Khalifa Fund companies: The Fund aims to create a new generation of Emirati entrepreneurs by instilling and enriching a culture of investment among young people, and by supporting and developing small to medium-sized investments across the emirate.

2.

In-Country Value (ICV): In our tenders, suppliers are requested to provide their ICV certification scores, which are considered as part of the overall evaluation, reflecting the supplier's commitment to developing the UAE economy.

3.

Moving towards a paperless office environment: Our procurement tendering process is fully electronic, helping to reduce paper consumption and energy use while increasing process efficiencies, such as reducing the procurement cycle time.

4.

Reducing our carbon footprint: Electronic tendering reduces printing, chemical emissions and electricity use, while online meetings reduce the need for physical travel. Together, these initiatives contribute to a reduced carbon footprint.

5.

Abu Dhabi Airports is committed to engaging with vendors that can provide sustainable solutions.
