🛢Vendor Onboarding

Become an Aramco-Approved Supplier — From Application to First PO

Saudi Aramco operates exclusively through SAP Ariba for vendor management. We guide companies through the entire onboarding: SAP Ariba registration, supplier qualification (SAQF), document compilation, technical evaluation, and first-PO readiness — including PEPPOL e-invoicing setup for ongoing transactions.

The challenge

Aramco doesn't talk to vendors who aren't in Ariba

Saudi Aramco — the world's largest energy company — does 100% of its supplier transactions through SAP Ariba. If you're not registered, qualified, and properly configured in Ariba, you can't bid, can't get POs, and can't invoice.

The onboarding flow has multiple stages: company registration, SAQF (Supplier Acknowledgement and Qualification Form), Aramco-specific document submissions (commercial registration, ICV/IKTVA, ZATCA tax compliance, ISO certifications, financial statements, banking attestations), technical pre-qualification per material/service category, and ongoing maintenance.

Most companies that try this themselves stall at SAQF or the Materials Master submission. We have done the entire flow for ourselves and clients — including issuing Aramco invoices with PEPPOL factur-x.xml in PDF/A-3 carrying PO + SES references that Ariba auto-detects and processes.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long does Aramco supplier onboarding take?
End-to-end typically 6-12 weeks: Ariba registration ~1 week, SAQF ~2 weeks, document compilation ~2-4 weeks, Aramco review ~3-6 weeks. We accelerate by submitting parallel rather than sequentially.
What is IKTVA / ICV and why does it matter?
IKTVA (In-Kingdom Total Value Add) is Aramco's framework for measuring local content. Your IKTVA score affects bid evaluation. ICV (In-Country Value) is the Saudi government framework. Both must be calculated and submitted; higher scores = better bid position.
Can you guarantee Aramco approval?
No one can — Aramco approval depends on your company financials, technical capability, and category demand. What we guarantee is a complete, error-free submission that maximizes your approval odds. Most rejections are due to incomplete submissions, which we eliminate.
Do I need PEPPOL right away?
Not at registration — PEPPOL is needed when you start invoicing. We bundle it because it prevents weeks of back-and-forth with Aramco AP later. Optional add-on if you prefer to defer.
What if I'm already partially registered in Ariba?
Common — many companies start, get stuck at SAQF or technical evaluation, and stall. We pick up from your current state and complete the remaining stages. Pricing adjusts down accordingly.
Is this only for Aramco or other Saudi majors too?
SABIC, Maaden, Tahakom and other Saudi majors use SAP Ariba with similar flows. We handle those engagements as well — pricing is comparable.
