Supplying ADNOC means getting registered and prequalified first. Here is how ADNOC vendor registration works, what you need, and why ICV matters.
ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, is one of the largest buyers in the region, and its supply chain is a major opportunity for UAE businesses. But you cannot simply send a quote: to supply goods or services you must first be a registered and prequalified ADNOC vendor. This guide explains how that works and what you need to get listed.
Who can register as an ADNOC vendor?
Registration is open to companies with a valid UAE trade licence whose activities match the goods or services they want to supply. Your licence, documents, and certifications need to line up with ADNOC's categories, so getting the licence activities right is the foundation of a successful application.
What you need to register
- A valid UAE trade licence with relevant activities
- Company and financial documents (and often audited accounts)
- Category-specific certifications and references
- An ICV (In-Country Value) certificate in most cases
- A complete supplier profile on the vendor portal
The registration and prequalification process
Registration starts with creating and completing your supplier profile, then submitting the prequalification documents for your category. ADNOC reviews the file and, once approved, you are listed and able to bid for tenders. A well-prepared, complete file is what gets through review without back-and-forth.
Why ICV matters for ADNOC
In-Country Value (ICV) measures how much your business contributes to the UAE economy, through local spending, hiring, and investment. ADNOC and the wider energy sector weigh ICV scores heavily in tender evaluations, so a strong ICV certificate can be the difference between winning and losing work. We guide you through obtaining and improving it.
Getting registered correctly, and keeping your ICV and documents current, is what opens the door to ADNOC contracts. Tell us about your business and we will prepare and manage your ADNOC vendor registration end to end.
