JSRS Happenings
Welcoming new entrants on the JSRS
The Joint Supplier Registration System (JSRS) is quickly becoming a National Procurement Initiative in Oman, a primary sourcing base of Oman’s Oil & Gas and other major Industries’ procurement system. With our community growing every month, we are shedding light on the new entrants who have recently joined JSRS.
JSRS Certified Supplier Network (JSRS CSN)
January ’23 saw over 120+ Suppliers certified on JSRS from Oman and around the world. Here is a pie-chart that offers a Sector-wise breakdown of the Certified Suppliers this month.

JSRS Search Statistics
The JSRS Certified Suppliers Network (JSRS CSN) consists of thousands of potential Clients, Suppliers and Partners who could be looking at your company for business opportunities, partnerships, etc. During January ’23, over 15,700+ searches were made for Products and Services on the JSRS. Here is a look at the top five Products/Services searches made by the JSRS Buyers Community and the JSRS CSN.
The 'Local Community Contractor' (LCC) Special Status is for Companies operating within the concession areas of certain Operators. LCCs who meet specific criteria, as defined by these Operators, are identified on the JSRS Certificate as ‘Special Status’ LCC. Companies with the LCC Special Status benefit from priority procurement opportunities from respective Operators. Omani Suppliers who qualify to be Local Community Contractors (LCCs) can apply for the LCC Special Status in their JSRS Certificate. LCC Special Status approval on the Certificate is currently endorsed by Petroleum Development of Oman (PDO), Duqm Refinery - OQ and CC Energy Development (CCED).JSRS Identifies and Certifies the LCC Suppliers and facilitates them with a secured tendering system for the main Contractors to float their LCC Obligated Opportunities to credible LCC Suppliers. Operators are empowered with a JSRS-CMS, a monitoring system for the ICV spend within various Supplier Communities like LCCs and SMEs.
Enabling ICV through SME / LCC Obligation Based Contract Opportunities
The JSRS Contracts Management System (JSRS-CMS), is a special initiative by the Oman Ministry of Energy and Minerals, to offer Equal Opportunities to Omani SMEs / LCCs, during the process of dispersing ICV based Obligation Contract Awards. The JSRS-CMS is a one-stop platform integrating Supplier Sourcing, Response, Award & Tracking of the entire Project’s / Contract’s Supply Chain.
In January 2023, 12 Local Suppliers were Awarded SME / LCC Obligation Based Contract Opportunities through the JSRS-CMS. Here is a breakdown of SME / LCC Obligation Based Contract Opportunities provided to certified Suppliers on the JSRS-CMS within the Oil & Gas and Other Industries in Oman. Also this month, 27 Events were posted by Contractors on the JSRS CMS.
