Classification Services
We help your organization obtain, renew, upgrade and amend its classification certificate in line with the requirements of the relevant authorities, enabling you to participate in government and private projects and strengthen your competitive position in the Saudi market.
What is the classification service?
A classification certificate is an official recognition of your organization’s technical, administrative and financial capabilities, issued by the competent authority under specific regulations and guidelines. Holding a valid classification enables you to access a broader range of government and private tenders and gives decision-makers greater confidence in your ability to deliver.
Who is this service for?
- Contracting companies seeking to enter or expand their participation in government and private projects.
- Organizations working in infrastructure, utilities, technical and specialized services.
- Companies aiming to upgrade their existing classification grade to access larger and more complex projects.
- Organizations that need to amend their classification data or add new activities.
- City service providers looking to obtain an appropriate accreditation level for private sector projects and subcontracted government work.
What we do in Classification Services
Rowad Al-Tasneef provides an end-to-end service that covers the full classification cycle, including:
1. Core classification services
- Initial classification certificate: Preparing and submitting a complete file to obtain a new classification certificate that allows your organization to formally enter the market and participate in government and private tenders.
- Classification renewal: Managing the renewal of your classification certificate on time, ensuring that all updated requirements are fully met.
- Grade upgrade: Assessing your organization’s situation, recommending necessary improvements and preparing a solid upgrade file that reflects your actual technical, financial and administrative capabilities.

2. Specialized certificates within the classification framework
- Ṣadaf Certificate: A technical classification from the Digital Government Authority for organizations operating in the ICT sector, helping you demonstrate your readiness to work on digital transformation and technology projects.
- Hassain Certificate: A technical classification from the National Cybersecurity Authority for cybersecurity service providers, based on specific criteria related to technical infrastructure, expertise and specialized capabilities.
3. Supporting corporate qualification in the Saudi market
As part of our classification work, we can also help organizations start their qualification and registration journey with key players in the Saudi market, including major entities such as Aramco, SABIC, NEOM and others. This opens access to high-value projects and strategic opportunities, while more detailed, entity-specific services are covered under dedicated qualification offerings elsewhere on your website.
How the classification service works?
We follow a clear, structured process to handle your classification file:
- Initial assessment: Understanding your activities, size, existing certificates and target entities to determine the most suitable classification service.
- Document and data collection: Identifying and gathering the required legal documents, financial statements, past project records and technical/administrative staff information.
- File preparation and structuring: Organizing documentation according to the authority’s requirements, completing forms and verifying data accuracy and completeness.
- Submission and follow-up: Submitting the file through the official channels, monitoring the status and responding to any questions or comments from the authority.
- Handling feedback until final decision: Addressing additional requests or clarifications until the classification certificate is issued or a formal decision is reached.
