What is the Company Classification certificate?

The Classification Certificate is an official statement that the company complies with the rules of Qatari labor law, issued by the GPRA and is used to evaluate companies for government contracts. The goal is to determine a company’s financial strength, human resources, and experience to ensure they can deliver projects effectively.

Classification Score

The classification score is calculated out of 100 points, divided into three main sections:

1- Financial Position (30 Points)

A strong financial position shows the authority that your company can sustain its operations and handle projects responsibly. This section is further divided into Capital and Net Assets:

Capital (10 Points)

Every QAR 50,000 in declared capital earns 1 point.
Example: If your capital is QAR 500,000, you earn the full 10 points.

Net Assets (20 Points)

Net assets include equipment, vehicles, property, cash, and other tangible resources.
Every QAR 50,000 in net assets earns 1 point.
Example: To secure all 20 points, you need QAR 1 million in net assets.

Ensure that the capital and asset figures you declare match your auditor’s report, as this report must be submitted with your classification application.

2- Human Resources (40 Points)

The human resources section evaluates the size and capability of your administrative and operational staff.

Administrative Staff – 10 Points

Points are awarded at 1 point per employee.

- Eligible employees include managers, accountants, secretaries, and other administrative personnel.

Labor Force – 30 Points

Includes engineers, technicians, foremen, and general workers.
Points are awarded at 1 point for every 5 employees in this category.

A well-documented HR structure demonstrates that your company has the manpower to handle projects efficiently.

3. Previous Experience (30 Points)

Previous experience is crucial in proving your company can deliver projects successfully. This section is divided into Contract Value and Number of Executed Contracts.

Contract Value – 25 Points

Government Projects: 1 point for every QAR 200,000 executed within the last three years.
