Licensing with GAMI
The General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) regulates all military manufacturing, supply and services activity in Saudi Arabia. No company may carry out these activities, or bid in related government tenders, without a GAMI licence. We guide foreign manufacturers and service providers through every stage, from setting up the legal entity to obtaining and maintaining the licence, and help them reach supply opportunities with Saudi military and security authorities.
Our services
Supply licence (procurement)
Licensing for branches of foreign manufacturers and their authorised distributors or agents, to supply military products and services to Saudi government military and security entities and GAMI-licensed companies. No establishment permit or site is required.
OEM representation
Structuring the manufacturer's appointment letter for each product line, defining its scope and term, and keeping authorisations current so the licence can be renewed.
Technical support inside bases
Technical staffing, training and operational support inside military facilities. This is the least capital-intensive way into military services.
Localisation partnerships
Joint ventures between manufacturers and Saudi partners to transfer capability into the Kingdom, aligned with GAMI's localisation goals and economic balance (offset) programme.
Compliance & licence maintenance
Prior written approval for changes in commercial registration, ownership or control; transfer permits; notifying GAMI of purchase orders from foreign parties within 30 days; 10-year record keeping; and renewal filed at least 60 days before expiry.
