6 حالات تُستبعد من خبرة المقاولين في تعديلات «نظام التصنيف»

The Minister of Municipalities and Housing, Majid Al-Huqail, approved new amendments to the executive regulations of the Contractors Classification System, which included the identification of 6 cases in which projects are not counted as executive experience for the contractor. The most notable of these cases is if the contract signing date is before the commercial registration date, or if the project's field does not fall within the classification areas, in addition to cases where the project is withdrawn from the contractor or it is proven that they did not participate in the execution, as well as when there is no approval for subcontracting, exceeding the financial limit of permissible works, or failing to provide the required documents and data.

The amendments granted the contractor the ability to divide the project according to the divisible fields, under specific conditions, including that the project's value should not be less than 600 million riyals and that the value of the part to be separated should not be less than 75 million riyals.

The amendments confirmed that the classification certificate will be issued electronically, and the owning entities must verify its validity through the ministry's website, with the possibility of extending its validity for one time only for a period of 90 days. The contractor has the right to request an amendment to their certificate by raising the grade or removing the activity after 90 days from its issuance.

The regulations emphasized the obligation of the contractor to update their data if there is any legal change in their status in the commercial register within 30 days, while they have the right to appeal classification decisions before the competent committee within 60 days, and then to file a complaint before the administrative court.
