Committee Established to Supervise Categorization of Engineering and Consulting Companies (10 members)
In a significant move aimed at enhancing professional standards in engineering and consulting services nationwide, the Kuwait Municipality has established a 10-member committee to oversee the qualification and accreditation of consulting firms, specialized engineering offices, and international consultancy entities.
The committee, chaired by Engineer Suleiman Al-Rashed and Deputy Chairman Engineer Mohammed Al-Adwani from the Ministry of Interior, will focus on the approval of firms eligible to conduct and prepare irrigation-related studies, as well as ensuring sustainable development and resource management in urban planning.
The committee's composition ensures joint oversight and inter-agency coordination, with five representatives from the Kuwait Municipality and five from the Ministry of Interior. This move is part of Administrative Resolution No. 82/2025 and reflects Kuwait's commitment to maintaining high standards in project planning and implementation.
Interested firms can now submit their applications to the committee according to the established regulations and deadlines. The purpose of qualification and classification is to enhance oversight and standards, with criteria likely to encompass professional licensing and registration, technical qualifications, experience and track record, office capacity and infrastructure, compliance with local laws and regulations, and classification into categories or grades.
However, for the most accurate and official information, it is advisable to consult directly with the Kuwait Municipality or the official engineering regulatory authority in Kuwait, as the specific detailed criteria established by this committee are not found in the provided search results.
This initiative is a step forward in streamlining project implementation and improving professional standards in engineering and consulting services, ultimately contributing to Kuwait's sustainable development and progress. The committee's work will be closely monitored, and updates on its progress are anticipated in the coming months.
The committee's work may also extend to overseeing the qualification and accreditation of firms in the finance sector, ensuring that these firms have the necessary resources and adhere to regulatory standards.
For instance, a consulting firm specializing in finance could be subject to the committee's approval if it intends to provide services related to urban development projects, requiring financial management expertise.
