The Federal Decree Law No. 12 of 2023 – which became effective December 1, 2023 – applies to any partnership project that is proposed by a federal entity and wholly or partially funded by the private sector.
The law also specifies exemptions in Article (4), which include partnership contracts that were entered into before the law’s enforcement date – as long as they do not conflict with Article (32) of the law, outsourced services specified in the Partnership Projects Manual, projects whose value is less than the limit specified in the Partnership Projects Manual, public asset and service privatisation projects.
It also applies to supply and procurement contracts related to national security specified in the Partnership Projects Manual, and federal entities, sectors, and projects that are exempt pursuant to UAE Cabinet Decisions.
