Dubai announces major new contracting law
Dubai has announced a new contracting law to regulate activities for businesses in the city and oversee the development of vital industries in the emirate. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, issued Law No. (7) of 2025 regulating contracting activities in the Emirate of Dubai. The law, which represents a significant step forward in strengthening the legal and governance framework of the emirate's contracting sector, supports Dubai's vision to advance the development of vital industries in line with global best practices. Dubai contracts law The new law sets out a unified regulatory framework for contractor classification, oversight, transparency and accountability, supporting Dubai's goals for sustainable growth. It also aligns with the emirate's building codes, planning regulations, and long-term development strategy. A key provision of the law is the establishment of the 'Contracting Activities Regulation and Development Committee', which will be formed by a decision of the Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai. The committee, chaired by a representative from Dubai Municipality, will include members from government authorities and entities concerned with contracting activities. The committee will be responsible for: Approving contracting activities in Dubai Identifying entities responsible for supervising each activity Overseeing the implementation of the law Proposing new policies and legislation for the sector Resolving any jurisdictional disputes that may arise between regulatory entities The committee will also adopt a code of ethics for the sector, coordinate with both public and private stakeholders, and review and act upon recommendations submitted by the authorities. The law applies to all contractors operating in Dubai, including those based in special development zones and free zones such as the Dubai International Financial Centre. Contracting activities related to airports and their associated infrastructure, as well as any other activities exempted by a decision from the Chairman of The Executive Council based on the committee's recommendation, are excluded from the scope of the law. Dubai Municipality has been assigned the responsibility of establishing, operating, and managing an integrated electronic system for all contracting activities in the emirate. This new system will be linked to the 'Invest in Dubai' platform and serve as the central registry for contractors in the emirate. Dubai Municipality is also tasked with preparing a code of conduct for the sector, classifying contractors engaged in construction, building, and demolition activities, and issuing professional competency certificates to technical personnel. The law outlines rules for contractor registration. Contractors must comply with all relevant legislation and operate within their approved classification and capacity. They are prohibited from exceeding their technical or financial limits or subcontracting without prior approval. Penalties for violating the provisions of the law or any related decisions include fines ranging from AED1,000 ($272) to AED100,000 ($27,200). Repeat violations within a year may result in doubled fines, up to a maximum of AED200,000 ($54,400). Additional actions may include suspension from contracting activities for up to one year, downgrading of classification, removal from the registry, cancellation of commercial licenses, and suspension or de-registration of technical staff and revocation of their professional certificates. All contractors operating in Dubai at the time the law comes into force are required to regularise their status within a year. This period may be extended by the Committee for another year if necessary. Contractors whose registration expires during this period will be allowed to renew it upon submitting a declaration pledging to comply with the law's provisions within the given timeframe. Any existing legislation that conflicts with this law will be annulled. The law will be effective six months after its publication in the Official Gazette.
