Performance Guarantee Agreement

"I need a Performance Guarantee Agreement under UAE law for a construction project in Dubai, where ABC Bank will guarantee AED 5 million on behalf of XYZ Contractors for the completion of a commercial tower, with the guarantee expiring in March 2025."

Document background
The Performance Guarantee Agreement is a crucial security instrument in UAE business transactions, particularly in construction, infrastructure, and major commercial projects. It provides financial security to the beneficiary (typically a project owner or employer) against the risk of non-performance or default by the principal (usually a contractor or service provider). The agreement, governed by UAE law, must comply with local banking regulations and commercial practices. The guarantee typically covers a percentage of the contract value and remains valid until the successful completion of the underlying obligations. Performance Guarantee Agreements are essential in UAE government contracts and are often required for private sector projects exceeding certain value thresholds. The document specifies trigger events for calling the guarantee, demand procedures, and payment obligations, while ensuring compliance with UAE Civil Code provisions regarding guarantees and sureties.
