Company profiles for tender submissions in the UAE
A tender company profile is the company profile you include in a bid for an open tender. It tells the evaluator who you are, what you’re licensed to do and what you have delivered, worded around that tender’s scope. Wording tailored to one specific tender comes with Premium (AED 1,500), which includes a rush option.
Behind a tender is one question for one contract: can this company deliver this scope, to this standard, by this date? We write and design a company profile for tender use. With Premium, the wording is tailored to one specific bid, built around the scope, evaluation points and closing date in the documents you give us.
Want to see the result first? See a sample company profile (fictional): 8 pages, 4 in English and 4 in Arabic.
A company profile for a tender is a short, structured document, usually a PDF, that summarises who your company is, what it is licensed to do, what it can deliver and where, supported by the projects, people, equipment and certificates you choose to show. It sits alongside the buyer’s own forms and attachments; it doesn’t replace them.
Where the profile sits in a tender submission
In a tender, the profile usually forms part of the technical submission for one contract. It gives evaluators context about your company before they read your technical proposal and commercial offer. Preparing for a tender? Read our guide on company profile vs technical proposal.

What evaluators typically look for
Every buyer sets its own criteria, but many reviewers check the same things, roughly in this order:
- Identity: trade licence details and licensed activities
- Relevant scope: services that match what they’re buying
- Experience: comparable contracts or projects
- Capacity: manpower, supervision and equipment
- Coverage: where you can deliver
- Systems: HSE, quality procedures and the certificates you hold
- Contact: an authorised contact person and how to reach them
Company profile format for a tender submission
- A page order that follows that checklist, so a reviewer can find each item without searching.
- Clear headings and short sections instead of long paragraphs, with key facts in tables where that reads faster.
- Matching English and Arabic versions (Essential and above), with the same page order, so bilingual evaluation teams can cross-check easily.
- Figures as you give them to us. Headcounts, equipment lists and project details come from your records, and the profile is built only on the information you confirm.
- Pointers to your attachments, for example “Trade licence: see attached”, so the profile and your documents work together.
Both language versions are written for their readers; see bilingual Arabic–English company profiles. For how we write and lay out each section, see company profile writing and company profile design.
What to attach separately
The profile summarises; your documents provide the evidence. Unless the buyer asks otherwise, keep these as separate files:
- A copy of your trade licence
- The certificates you hold (for example ISO 9001, if you have it)
- Insurance certificates
- Financial statements, if requested
- Forms, declarations or letters the buyer supplies for signature
- CVs of key staff, if requested
These documents come from you. The profile tells the reviewer where to find them.
What Premium adds for a specific tender
Every package gives you a clearly structured, evaluator-friendly profile. Premium is the package built for one named tender:
- 8–10 pages per language, Arabic and English
- Wording tailored to that specific tender
- A dedicated selected projects page
- A choice of 2 design styles and unlimited in-scope revisions
- 1 rush included: delivery in 5 working days after full intake, or 48 hours using the included rush
Premium is AED 1,500, with no VAT added. Send us the tender requirements at intake so the wording follows them. If you’re on another package and your deadline is close, a 48-hour rush is available for AED 199.
Not ready for tender-specific wording? Essential (AED 450, 6 pages per language) and Professional (AED 850, Recommended, 8 pages per language) give you a clearly structured bilingual profile you can reuse for general submissions and vendor registrations. No VAT added; delivery times start after full intake.
What a profile can and can’t do
A clear profile helps evaluators review you, but we can’t guarantee an award; that decision rests with the buyer. Evaluators also weigh your price, your compliance with their requirements and your supporting documents. What the profile can do is make sure your capability is presented clearly and completely, in both languages.
Profiles by sector
- Facility management company profiles: hard and soft services, manpower and coverage for FM contracts
- Cleaning company profiles: services, staffing and quality checks for cleaning firms
- Contracting and fit-out company profiles: licence scope, projects, equipment and HSE for tender bids

Tender company profile FAQs
What is the difference between a company profile and a tender submission?
The submission is the full package the buyer asks for: their forms, your technical proposal, your commercial offer, declarations and attachments. The company profile is one document within it, or one file submitted on a vendor portal, that introduces your company. We write and design the profile; the rest of the submission stays with your team.
Our tender closes soon. What should we send first?
Send the closing date, the tender requirements, your trade licence and your service list in one message. The delivery time starts once intake is complete, so a complete first message is the fastest route. Premium includes one rush (48 hours); on other packages, the 48-hour rush costs AED 199.
Can one profile be used for several tenders?
Yes. Every package gives you a clearly structured profile you can reuse for general submissions and vendor registrations. Premium’s wording is tailored to one specific tender or registration; if you’d like wording tailored to a different submission later, tell us and we’ll quote it based on the tender requirements.
Is a vendor registration profile different from a tender profile?
Usually, yes. A vendor registration profile presents your full range of services and stays on file for future needs, while a tender profile concentrates on one contract: see prequalification and vendor registration profiles.
Can you write our technical proposal or method statement?
Those stay with your team. We write and design the company profile; the technical proposal, method statement, pricing, the buyer’s forms and declarations are prepared by you. A clear profile gives evaluators context before they read those documents.
The tender sets a page limit or a section order. Can the profile follow it?
Send the tender requirements at intake and we’ll confirm how the profile fits them. Premium tailors the wording and structure to one specific tender, within 8–10 pages per language. If the limit is shorter, tell us before we start.
Does every tender ask for a company profile?
Not necessarily. Check the tender documents and the buyer’s portal for what is requested and in what format. If a profile is requested, or welcome alongside the forms, Premium builds the wording around that tender. We can’t tell you what a particular buyer requires.
Do we need Premium for a tender?
No. Any package gives you a clear, well-structured profile. Premium (AED 1,500) adds wording tailored to one tender, a dedicated, fully designed selected projects page, unlimited in-scope revisions and 1 rush included. Any package can show your project details. On other packages a rush is AED 199. Delivery times start after full intake.
What is the difference between a tender profile and a PQD?
A PQD is submitted before a tender invitation, so a client or consultant can decide whether to shortlist your company, and it covers the organisation chart, manpower, equipment and projects. A tender profile is one document in a bid for an open tender, tailored to that tender in Premium.
