Overview
Khamis Mushait is one of the largest governorates in Asir Province by population, with an economy combining trade, services and construction. A substantial government and military presence makes government contracting an important element of the local economy.
Government contracting means a different regime: the Government Tenders and Procurement Law governs everything from award to variations to delay penalties, and the government entity cannot depart from it even by agreement. A contractor who treats it as an ordinary commercial contract loses its claims.
Specialised matters are heard by the specialised courts in Abha within Asir Province. We work remotely at most stages and attend when needed.

Matters we see most in Khamis Mushait
Government contracting
Challenging exclusion or an award decision on very short deadlines — missing them extinguishes the right permanently.
Government delay penalties
The penalty is fixed by statute, and the answer is proving grounds for extension rather than negotiating the amount.
Contractor receivables
Late payment applications follow a defined statutory route, and an undocumented claim is not accepted however completely the work was done.
Supply contracts with government entities
Acceptance and delivery specifications are stricter in a government contract, and breaching them is treated as breaching the whole contract.
Common questions
Do you act for clients in Khamis Mushait?
Yes — we work with contractors and suppliers to government entities and with retail and services businesses. Specialised matters are heard in Abha within Asir Province.
Our bid was excluded from a government tender. Should we challenge it?
Yes, but on very short deadlines running from knowledge of the decision. The first step is requesting the grounds for exclusion in writing, because the challenge is built on those grounds rather than on a general objection.
We have been charged delay penalties on a government contract. Can they be reduced?
The penalty is fixed by statute and is not negotiable, but part of it can be struck out by proving entitlement to an extension of time for a cause not attributable to you. That is proved through correspondence, variation orders and the programme.
Our payment applications are overdue from a government entity. What is the route?
A defined statutory route under the Government Tenders and Procurement Law: a documented formal demand, then a grievance, then the administrative courts. An undocumented claim is not accepted however completely the work was done.
Is a government contract really different from a commercial one?
Fundamentally, yes. The government entity cannot depart from the statute even if it wishes to, so do not rely on a verbal understanding or administrative goodwill. Every right must have a basis in the statute and the contract.
Do you review tender documents before a bid is submitted?
Call us with the tender documents, the bid submitted, and any decision issued. The first call is free.
