Workshop held on Madayn Supplier Certification System

Muscat: The Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn) organised a workshop on Monday at the Knowledge Oasis Muscat (KOM) highlighting Madayn’s Supplier Certification System on the Joint Supplier Registration System (JSRS) hosted on www.businessgateways.com.
Organised in cooperation with Business Gateways International, the workshop targeted business owners, investors and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) based in Al Rusayl, Samail and Nizwa Industrial Cities. The event aimed at disseminating awareness on Madayn Supplier Certification System, JSRS certification, their benefits to the suppliers and factories, and the way to access major investment opportunities through these platforms.
The workshop elaborated on the registration process for the national and international suppliers interested to offer their products and services to any of the projects in Madayn’s industrial cities as they are required to be registered on the JSRS and then with the Madayn Supplier Certification System which was officially incorporated into the JSRS. This incorporation came following the signing of a MoU by Madayn appointing Business Gateways International which operates the JSRS platform, to develop and manage Madayn’s Supplier Certification System. Through the Supplier Certification System, Madayn enables national and international vendors, contractors and suppliers to be a part of a streamlined, transparent and robust procurement process.
The existing JSRS certified suppliers can apply directly for the Madayn Supplier Certificate through their account login on the JSRS platform. Madayn Supplier Certification is awarded after a validation and approval process jointly by businessgateways and Madayn and is valid for a period of two years. Madayn’s integration into the JSRS platform offers one-stop information resource on local and international contractors, suppliers and service providers that are qualified to compete for business and contracting opportunities in the Sultanate.
The benefits of obtaining JSRS certification include receiving tenders and procurement opportunities from Oman’s JSRS buyers (oil and gas and other industries), identifying and building business partnerships, boosting credibility and visibility of international companies wanting to operate in the GCC, b2b stimulation opportunities, connecting with international embassies and other government bodies in Oman, among other benefits,
The signing of the agreement with businessgateways is part of the strategy adopted by Madayn to implement and develop an integrated package of electronic services that adds value to the investment environment in all its industrial cities. Through its strategy, Madayn constantly updates and develops its e-services, which contributes significantly to facilitate and complete investment operations in the Sultanate and create an ideal technological environment.
This agreement also adds value to the electronic services that Madayn is providing through its website (www.madayn.om) for different targets including investors, business owners and Madayn employees.
