Business Legal Updates
Four regulatory signals that deserve businesses’ attention this month. We review the regulations and decisions that matter most to establishments, focusing on their practical impact and what is worth preparing for.
The New Government Tenders and Procurement Law
Updated rules governing government tenders and contracting, from bid submission to contract execution and the obligations attached to them.
Review qualification procedures, bid preparation and government-contract management, and identify tenders that may be affected by the transition to the new system.
Settling White-Land Fees Before Deed Transfer
The Council of Ministers required verification that due fees have been settled before notarising the transfer of ownership of land subject to the White Land system.
Include fee status in the legal due diligence of real-estate transactions and prepare documents before entering transfer procedures.
A Unified Five-Level Fund Risk Meter
A guidance framework helping asset managers standardise risk assessment and improve its transparency to investors.
Compare current risk-assessment methodologies against the guidance framework and develop classification and disclosure practices.
70% Saudisation of Project-Management Professions
The new Saudisation ratio takes effect on 14 February 2027, per the professions and rules set in the procedural manual.
Inventory employees in covered professions, measure the current gap, and build an early plan before enforcement begins.
