Why choose Ariba & Mac

Pharmaceutical R&D, Regulatory & Healthcare Project Expertise Under One Strategy

Complex healthcare and life-sciences projects often fail at the interfaces between disciplines. We connect scientific development, regulatory planning, quality systems, vendors, facilities and implementation so clients can see dependencies earlier and make decisions with a clearer evidence trail.

Integrated Project Delivery

Support can span consultancy, research, facilities, quality and partner coordination, reducing the risk that one workstream advances without the evidence or inputs another workstream needs.

Regulatory-Aware Execution

Projects are planned with the applicable SFDA and international requirements in mind. The objective is not to promise approval, but to reduce preventable gaps, rework and disconnected documentation.

Scientific research project workflow

How it works

Our Saudi Healthcare & Life Sciences Consulting Process

Whether the assignment is R&D, clinical research, CMC, a facility project or investor diligence, we begin by defining the decision, deliverables and constraints. The project plan then connects scientific, regulatory, quality, vendor and operational activities to measurable milestones and review points.

Step 01

Discovery & Scope Definition

Clarify the business or scientific objective, current evidence, target market, stakeholders, known risks, timeline expectations and the specific deliverables needed from the engagement.

Step 02

Workplan, Methods & Responsibilities

Define the technical approach, partner/vendor roles, regulatory and quality requirements, documentation standards, milestones and decision gates before execution begins.

Step 03

Execution, Review & Handover

Carry out or coordinate the agreed work, review results and risks at milestones, document decisions, and prepare a clear handover for the next development, regulatory, investment or operational stage.

Our Engagement Models

Flexible Pharma & Healthcare Consulting Engagement Models

The engagement model is selected according to the work required. A defined technical package may suit a project scope; ongoing regulatory, quality or project-management needs may suit a retainer; larger investment or development programs may require a longer-term partnership structure. Scope, responsibilities and decision rights are agreed before work starts.

Project-Based

Ideal for defined deliverables and specific timelines.

  • Clear milestones
  • Fixed scope of work
  • Transparent outcomes

Retainer Model

For ongoing advisory and continuous support.

  • Dedicated consultancy hours
  • Strategic advisory sessions
  • Priority client support

Joint Ventures

Strategic partnerships for long-term growth and innovation.

  • Shared investment & resources
  • Mutual growth focus
  • Sustainable outcomes

Authoritative Regulatory, Government & Academic Resources

Yes. Saudi requirements can be planned alongside the needs of other target markets when the project calls for it. The exact regulatory pathway, documentation and authority interactions depend on the product, service, development stage and jurisdiction.

Qualification is handled according to project risk and requirements. We review relevant capability, quality, documentation and accreditation or certification evidence where needed rather than assuming every partner is suitable for every project.
