Oman's Procurement and Investment Opportunities

As an active member of the GCC, and with projects worth billions across all sectors, Oman is the perfect global business opportunity, fast growing into a world class economy model and becoming a lifestyle destination in the process. To streamline the supply chain demands which projects in Oman would create, the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, Oman implemented a centralized certification and procurement platform for Suppliers - the Joint Supplier Registration System (JSRS), driven by businessgateways and hosted on: www.businessgateways.com.

The Joint Supplier Registration System (JSRS) is a 'single window' industrywide supplier registration and certification system. Today, the JSRS is fast becoming a National Procurement Initiative which is the primary sourcing base of Oman's Oil & Gas and other major industries' procurement system.
