What is JSRS?

The Joint Supplier Registration System (JSRS) is the Sultanate of Oman’s Industry-wide Supplier Certification System implemented by Business Gateways International (businessgateways) on behalf of the Oman Ministry of Energy and Minerals. The JSRS is hosted on www.businessgateways.com/jsrs. The JSRS is an In-Country Value (ICV) initiative of the Oman Oil & Gas Industry that was launched in 2014 and currently supports thousands of Suppliers from Oman and around the world to connect to Oman’s Procurement potential. The JSRS has expanded to other Industries as well

       What are the objectives of JSRS?

The objectives of JSRS are to:

1. Create a 'Single Window' Supplier Certification System to unify the registration & certification process of all Oil & Gas Operators and Other Industry Buyers in Oman.

1. Attract the Best-of-Breed Suppliers (national and international) to actively connect to and serve Oman’s Procurement needs.

1. Support Transparency and Local Content within the Supply Chain.

1. Provide a Supplier Sourcing Platform for Oil & Gas Operators and Industry Buyers to ‘Seek and Identify’ Suppliers to engage in the Procurement process.

1.  Provide suppliers with an online mechanism to keep their data updated and monitored.
   

1. Create the In-Country Value (ICV) environment for Suppliers who will be monitored regularly on their ICV Performance.

1.  Support Omani SMEs to actively engage in Procurement opportunities within Oil & Gas and Other Industries and create success stories.

1.  Improve Supplier performance by providing them access to business-critical services on the NBF Platform to strengthen their own Supply Chain and Partnerships.
