Sahmino Newsroom | 23 October 2026 | 23 days ago
Under a circular from a deputy head of Iran's Administrative and Recruitment Organization to executive bodies, reported by Mehr News Agency on Friday, 23 October 2026 (1 Aban 1405), government bodies may outsource support activities to contractors in only six areas. The six are cleaning, gardening, warehousing, security, IT support and facilities maintenance. The circular was issued within the framework of a resolution of the Management and Human Capital Development Council.
A body that wants to outsource an activity outside this list must submit a documented request describing the activity, the workload and the number of staff required. The outsourcing must then receive final approval from the council. The report does not say when the circular takes effect.
