tamam is a UAE on-demand services super-app. Households and businesses open the app, describe a job, and compare verified vendors on transparent AED ranges. This page is the other side of that screen: who tamam lists, what you have to prove before you are listed, how a job actually reaches you, and how the money works.
tamam lists licensed service businesses, not individuals working off a phone number. The catalogue is fixed and finite — four categories, 29 core services, 156 sub-services — and every vendor is listed against the specific sub-services they do and the areas they cover.
Work reaches vendors in several contexts depending on the service: at-home, at-office, at-hotel, mobile, roadside, and pickup-and-delivery. A car wash operating out of a van is not disadvantaged for having no premises — mobile is the normal shape of a lot of this work.
Vetting happens before a vendor is listed, not after a complaint: licence, insurance and identity are settled before booking opens, so the customer is not doing the diligence at the doorstep. There are four checks, no hidden fifth one, and no badge you can buy.
| requirement | what tamam does with it | applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Trade licence | Checked against the issuing municipality or authority — DM, ADM, SM or the local equivalent. Self-declaration is not enough. | every vendor |
| Insurance | Confirmed as current and kept on file before you take a single booking. | every vendor |
| Technician identity | Every person who attends a job appears in the app with a name and photo before arrival. | every attending staff member |
| Clinical licence | Home health work is delivered by DHA or DoH licensed clinicians; lab samples go to accredited labs. | health services only |
After the checks, ratings from previous customers stay attached to your profile. That is the part you build rather than submit — and it is why a new vendor with a clean licence is not competing against anonymous listings.
You are not buying leads and you are not answering a switchboard. A customer describes a job in the app or on whatsapp, and vendors whose coverage includes that area respond with an AED range against that written description.
Pricing is shown to customers as transparent AED ranges from multiple competing vendors, never one fixed price. The number against your name is a number you set.
| service | typical on-site time | published AED band |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning | 2–6 hours | AED 35–90 per hour |
| AC Maintenance | 1–3 hours | AED 150–700 |
| Plumber | 1–3 hours | AED 120–600 |
| Pest Control | 1–2 hours | AED 150–600 |
| Car Wash | 30–90 min | AED 30–120 |
| Car Detailing | 3–8 hours | AED 300–2500 |
| Nursing | 1–12 hours | AED 80–200 per hour |
| Pet Grooming | 1–3 hours | AED 150–500 |
Where a job lands inside a band is not arbitrary, and being explicit about it in your quote is what stops a dispute later. The factors:
Service businesses join tamam free. There is no sign-up fee, no monthly fee and no listing fee. tamam takes a commission on completed jobs, which means the platform earns only when you earn — a quiet month costs you nothing, and an unconverted quote costs you nothing.
The customer app is free to download and free to browse, and customers pay only when they book. That matters to you for one practical reason: the people looking at your listing have no reason to be there other than wanting the work done.
tamam covers 686 named areas and communities across all seven emirates. You are shown to customers in the areas your coverage includes, so a Sharjah crew that does not want to run to Fujairah simply is not offered Fujairah jobs. Coverage is a setting, not an obligation.
| emirate | areas covered |
|---|---|
| Dubai | 366 |
| Abu Dhabi | 153 |
| Sharjah | 65 |
| Ajman | 33 |
| Ras Al Khaimah | 31 |
| Fujairah | 22 |
| Umm Al Quwain | 15 |
The full list is on the areas index and the coverage page. Area character shapes the work: most named areas are primarily residential, the rest are mixed, hospitality, commercial or industrial — which is why a vendor comfortable with tower access procedures and gated-community rules is worth more per job.
There is no online form to fight with. Applications run through whatsapp on +971 50 601 1938. Have this ready before you message:
Before you commit to anything, see what a customer sees: the app is free and browsing costs nothing. Read how it works, then look up your own trade in your own emirate and judge the competition honestly.
Joining is free: no sign-up fee, no monthly fee, no listing fee. tamam takes a commission on completed jobs only. The rate is not published on this page — ask on whatsapp and get it in writing before you accept a booking.
Yes. Every vendor on tamam has a trade licence verified with the relevant municipality or authority — DM, ADM, SM or the local equivalent. It is confirmed with the issuer rather than self-declared, and has to stay current to stay listed.
Yes. Insurance is checked and kept on file before you take a single booking, and it has to remain current. Vendors who let insurance or their trade licence lapse come off the platform.
Yes. tamam shows customers transparent AED ranges from multiple competing vendors, never a single fixed platform rate. You quote your own figure against the written scope and position at the tier you want — value, mid or premium. Parts and consumables are quoted separately and approved first.
Customers pay in the app and keep a receipt, so the money is collected on the platform rather than at the door. The payout terms that apply to you sit in your vendor agreement; this page does not publish a schedule, so ask for it in writing when you apply.
No, and you should be sceptical of anyone who does. Jobs arrive when a customer in an area you cover asks for a service you do, and that customer then chooses between the verified vendors who quoted. tamam does not publish job volumes and this page will not promise you any.
Any of the 686 areas across the seven emirates, subject to what you can realistically service. You are shown to customers in the areas your coverage includes. The full list is on the coverage page.
The licence and insurance checks are the same, plus the clinicians who attend must be DHA or DoH licensed and lab samples go to accredited labs. See health services for the seven listed health services.
No. A large part of the catalogue is mobile by design — car services come to the customer's parking space, and home and health services are delivered at home, at the office or at a hotel. What matters is the licence, the insurance and identifiable staff, not a shopfront.
