PDO Supplier Registration refers to the official process by which companies become recognized vendors or service providers for Petroleum Development Oman (PDO). PDO is the leading oil and gas exploration and production company in Oman, and registering as a supplier opens up opportunities to participate in tenders, contracts, and business ventures in the Omani energy sector.
Why is PDO Supplier Registration Important?
If you aim to do business with PDO or its affiliated contractors, registration is mandatory. Here’s why it’s crucial:
- Gain access to PDO's procurement portal and bidding opportunities.
- Build credibility with major oil and gas companies in Oman.
- Comply with Omani In-Country Value (ICV) policies.
- Expand your company’s footprint in the GCC energy sector.
Who Can Apply for PDO Supplier Registration?
Businesses across a range of sectors can register, including:
- Oil & Gas Equipment Suppliers
- Engineering Consultants
- Construction Companies
- Manpower & Recruitment Firms
- IT & Software Service Providers
- Safety & HSE Equipment Providers
Whether you’re a local Omani company or an international firm with a base in Oman, you may be eligible if you meet PDO’s criteria.
PDO Supplier Registration Categories
PDO classifies suppliers into three main categories:
Local Community Contractors (LCCs)
Omani-owned SMEs.
National Companies
Companies with majority Omani ownership.
International Companies
Foreign companies registered in Oman.
Each category has specific requirements and registration levels.
