ADNOC supplier registration is your essential entry point to the ADNOC Commercial Directory, a centralized SAP Ariba-powered platform that connects vendors with procurement needs across ADNOC Group entities such as ADNOC Drilling, ADNOC Refining, and ADNOC Logistics.
Whether you are a local manufacturer in Abu Dhabi, a service provider in Dubai, or an international entity, we assist you with ADNOC vendor registration, prequalification steps, and the required documents to get your company approved.
Registering with ADNOC is a strategic move that elevates your business standing in the Middle East. Beyond simple compliance, approved status offers tangible commercial advantages:
ADNOC requires registration for all companies involved in:
If your products or services support ADNOC’s operations even indirectly, you must register.
Registration with ADNOC often grants access to its extensive network of subsidiaries. Understanding these entities helps in targeting specific “Work Groups” during your application:
Understanding ADNOC’s fundamental eligibility criteria helps you assess your readiness before investing time in the application process.
The In-Country Value (ICV) program is mandatory for all ADNOC suppliers. It measures your contribution to the UAE economy.
While registration gets you into the system, Prequalification gets you the work. Once registered, you must apply for specific Product Groups or Service Categories. This is the technical phase where ADNOC assesses your capability.
Overseas manufacturers typically register with ADNOC by appointing a Local Commercial Agent. This agent must be a corporate entity based in Abu Dhabi holding a valid trade license. To finalize the registration, a notarized Agency Agreement is required, which legally authorizes the agent to bid on tenders, manage logistics, and provide after-sales support on behalf of the manufacturer.
For the registration to be accepted by the ADNOC Commercial Directory, the agreement between the Manufacturer and the Local Agent must include:
Official registration on the ADNOC SAP Ariba portal is free of charge (0 AED). However, companies should budget for mandatory third-party compliance costs. These typically include SPC Approval (approx. AED 1,000–5,000), ICV Certification (AED 3,000–7,000), ISO Certification (approx. AED 4,000–8,000 per standard), MOFA Document Attestation (AED 2,000 per commercial document), Agency Agreement legalization, and optional Consultancy Management Fees which average between AED 10,000 to AED 15,000 depending on the complexity of the pre-qualification.
Yes, for specific activities. As of the September 2025 Regulatory Update, companies based in Dubai and the Northern Emirates can now obtain Supreme Petroleum Council (SPC) Approval directly on their trade license without establishing a separate Abu Dhabi LLC. This approval is mandatory for any Dubai company providing “Onshore and Offshore Oil & Gas Field Services” or requiring access to Critical Infrastructure (CICPA passes). For simple goods suppliers (e.g., office stationery), SPC approval is typically not required.
To obtain a CICPA Security Pass for ADNOC Petroleum Ports (Jebel Dhanna, Ruwais, Das Island, Zirku, Mubarraz), contractors and vessel agents must first secure a Letter of Assistance (LOA) from the Petroleum Ports Authority (PPA). This letter serves as the official sponsorship required to apply for the security pass.
