In Saudi Arabia’s fast-evolving industrial ecosystem, the race to meet compliance, localization, and operational excellence has intensified. As the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 initiatives push industries toward accelerated growth, infrastructure readiness and compliance-led contracting solutions are no longer optional—they’re strategic imperatives.
EPS Support, a Saudi Arabia-based industrial consulting and contracting company, stands at the forefront of this transformation, offering Aramco-approved consultation services that bridge policy with performance.
The Contracting Gap in the Saudi Industrial Sector
Despite significant investments in infrastructure and industrial development, many EPCs and industrial operators in Saudi Arabia continue to struggle with project execution. The reasons are multifaceted:
-
Non-compliance with Aramco site and IKTVA regulations
-
Unverified or unqualified vendors mobilized to sensitive industrial zones
-
Limited understanding of local content requirements by international contractors
-
Failure to integrate procurement and manpower mobilization under a unified strategy
According to a 2025 report from the Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, over 35% of halted industrial projects in the Kingdom were due to non-compliant contractors, delayed mobilization, or procurement misalignment.
The economic losses from such inefficiencies run into billions annually.
EPS Support: A New Era of Compliance-Driven Contracting
Recognizing the need for a more intelligent and integrated approach, EPS Support launched its Contracting Division in early 2025. What sets this division apart is not merely the ability to mobilize camps, provide manpower, or deliver procurement—it’s how EPS does it.
