- How to Escalate a Grievance Request on Etimad?

The Etimad platform allows registered suppliers to escalate a grievance request if their previous complaint was either rejected or not responded to within the official period. This service ensures that suppliers can formally object to tender awarding results.

When Can You Escalate a Grievance?

You are eligible to escalate a grievance in the following cases:

  • You have already submitted a grievance request that was rejected.
  • Your grievance has not received a response within the regulatory period.
  • The relevant tender has been awarded.
  • Your submitted offer was evaluated.
  • You have a valid bank guarantee linked to the tender that is valid for at least 30 days.

Steps to Escalate the Grievance

  1. Log in to your account on Etimad.
  2. Navigate to the Tenders section and select the relevant awarded tender.
  3. Open the Communication with Government Entity feature.
  4. Choose the request type "Escalate Grievance".
  5. Fill in the required data and reason for escalation.
  6. Attach the bank guarantee document.
  7. Submit the request for review by the Tender Grievance Committee.

Required Document

  • Valid bank guarantee for the concerned tender.

Important Notes

  • The escalation can be made only once per grievance case.
  • The Grievance Review Committee will review and decide on the escalation.
