Manpower Supply in Dubai, Sharjah & Abu Dhabi

These get used interchangeably and they are not the same. Manpower supply is the broad one: people deployed to your site for a role you define, across cleaning, portering, reception, events and general support. Housekeeping is the narrower cleaning placement, the same people on an ongoing contract. Hourly cleaning is ad hoc, booked by the hour with nobody assigned.

Which one you want is decided by the role and the duration, not by the headcount. A three-month project needing two porters is supply. A permanent lobby presence is a placement. A one-off event needing eight people for a weekend is supply again. We will say which fits rather than sell the largest of the three.

Staff supplied by MUMTAZ are employed by MUMTAZ, on our visa and our insurance, not subcontracted onward. That is not a detail. It decides who is liable if someone is hurt on your site, who is responsible for their conduct, whether their status is in order, and whether you have anyone to call who is not the individual standing in front of you.

It also decides whether cover is real. A supplier who is passing your requirement to somebody else cannot promise continuity, because the people are not theirs to move. Ask any supplier who employs the staff, and ask to see it, because the answer changes what you are actually buying.

Cleaning staff for common areas, back of house and production floors. Porters for goods movement, waste routes and lift handling, which is the role most often under-provided in a residential tower. Reception and front-of-house for buildings and offices. Event staff for a defined period, where the work is setup, flow and clear-down rather than cleaning as such. Support roles in warehouses and yards where the requirement is hands rather than a trade.

What we do not supply is licensed trades. An electrician, a plumber or an MEP technician is a qualification rather than a headcount, and those come through the facilities management side with the qualification checked, not through a supply requisition.

By the role and the pattern, which is why no rate is published. What the person is there to do, how many, on what shift, for how long, and who they take instruction from on site. A site visit before quoting is free and usually changes the headcount: two buildings of the same size can need very different numbers once the waste route, the lift count and the shift overlap are looked at.

For a fluctuating requirement, a hotel through season or a retailer through peaks, a fixed core team with flexible cover around it is almost always cheaper than carrying peak headcount all year. That is a scoping conversation rather than a pricing one, and it is worth having before the contract is written.

Four questions separate a staffing supplier from a broker. Who employs the staff, and can you see it? Whose visa are they on? Who supervises them on my site, and what is that person's name and number? And what happens on the day somebody does not turn up, in writing rather than in principle?

An answer that stays general to all four usually means the people are being passed on from somewhere else, and that is worth knowing before a contract rather than after an incident. We would rather be asked those questions than not, because the answers are the reason our rate is what it is.
