All suppliers must complete a one-time registration in the ADNOC Commercial Directory in order to participate in procurement opportunities and receive tender invitations.
Once registered and prequalified, companies gain access to ADNOC’s procurement systems where they can submit bids, participate in tenders, and collaborate with ADNOC entities.

This registration allows companies to be listed in the ADNOC commercial directory and participate in procurement opportunities. Many trading companies and distributors apply under this category to supply industrial goods, machinery, safety equipment, and other operational materials.
