Aramco supplier registration involves submitting an application through SAP Ariba, completing rigorous technical and commercial questionnaires, preparing for potential plant audits, and outlining an IKTVA (In-Kingdom Total Value Add) action plan. B-Link manages this entire process on your behalf.
The typical Aramco timeline is 8–16 weeks once your Saudi entity is active and all required documentation is complete and compliant. Delays often occur if commodity classifications are wrong or documents fail initial audits—which is what we prevent.
A vendor code (or Vendor Number) is a unique identifier assigned by a buyer (like Aramco or SABIC) once you are successfully pre-qualified and approved. It activates you in their procurement system, allowing you to receive RFQs and submit bids.
IKTVA stands for In-Kingdom Total Value Add. It is a mandated program by Saudi Aramco (and adapted by others as Local Content) to drive supply chain localization and job creation. Showing a strong IKTVA score or a committed action plan is critical to bid scoring and winning contracts.
SABIC requires registration via the Ariba Network and a strict compliance/due diligence process managed by Achilles. You must assemble extensive documentation covering HSE, financials, and technical capabilities.
Registering as a Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) vendor requires navigating their supplier portal, undergoing technical evaluation, and proving local content compliance. The process is often faster than Aramco if your documentation is solid.
SAP Ariba and Achilles are third-party procurement and risk-management platforms used by major Saudi buyers. Registration requires setting up profiles, paying portal fees, and completing lengthy compliance questionnaires.
While exceptions occasionally exist for highly specialized international technologies, most major Saudi buyers strongly prefer or legally mandate that you have a registered Saudi legal entity (via MISA), or act through a localized joint venture / approved distributor to qualify and compete effectively.
No. Registration is mandatory to get into the system, receive RFQs, and bid—but it doesn't guarantee business. Commercial competitiveness, technical superiority, and Local Content/IKTVA scores win the actual contracts. B-Link handles the registration so you are technically positioned to qualify and win.
