UAE B2B procurement library

Procurement guides for UAE businesses

Practical, UAE-specific guides on buying supplies for your business: how to specify what you actually need, what a compliant tax invoice looks like, how bulk pricing really works, and where budgets quietly leak. Written by the people who price and ship these orders every day.

Written and maintained by the CoHub Procurement Desk.

A commercial cleaning supplies list for a UAE facility is built area by area: washrooms, pantry, floors, glass and waste rooms, each with a cleaning frequency and the consumables that frequency burns. Specify tissue by dispenser fit, liners by micron and seal type, and chemicals by dilution ratio. UAE storefront prices exclude 5% VAT.

  • One case of four 5-litre disinfectant concentrates dosed at one part product to fifty parts water makes roughly 1,000 litres of use solution, against 20 litres for the same case in ready-to-use bottles.
  • A jumbo tissue roll fits a dispenser only when its core diameter and its maximum outer diameter both match the cabinet, and 45 mm, 60 mm and 76 mm cores all circulate in the UAE.
  • Bin liners should be specified by material (HDPE or LLDPE), flat width and length in centimetres, micron and seal type, because the phrase heavy duty carries no measurable value.
