DGS or the Department of Government Support is an initiative by the UAE government to get together all the government entities and to create an opportunity for the private sector to be part of the government practices. The main aim of the DGS is to improve the quality of services offered to the customers by the government entities. DGS allows different government entities to work together and initiate new projects and schemes in the future. DGS is also focusing on giving in the “regulatory and operational framework” for the government procurement and bidding and to maintain a centralized-IT based platform for the same.
The DGS allows companies to be part of procurement and tendering processes for the various government entities in UAE. This is an attempt to reduce the chasm between the private and government sectors by providing an opportunity of working together as partners.
