Register as an Approved Vendor
with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC)

An SEC vendor is an officially registered supplier or contractor with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), the primary operator of Saudi Arabia's electricity generation, transmission, and distribution networks. SEC manages a network spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometres and executes massive expansion projects, making the SEC vendor list one of the most active accreditations in the Saudi energy sector.

SEC vendor registration begins by identifying your supply type (equipment, maintenance, construction) and verifying Commercial Registration activity alignment, then registering on SEC's procurement portal and uploading the required documents. The procurement team review takes 7 to 14 business days before the SEC vendor code is issued. SEC vendor registration is among the faster processes in the Saudi market and represents an effective entry point into the energy sector for qualified suppliers and contractors.

The SEC vendor code is the identifier that Saudi Electricity Company assigns to your company in its approved vendor database. It is used for submitting bids, receiving purchase orders, issuing invoices, and completing contracts. Obtaining an SEC vendor code means your company is officially accepted as part of the SEC supplier list.

SEC vendor registration is done through the official Saudi Electricity Company procurement portal. You complete the registration form, upload all required documents, and the procurement team reviews the submission before issuing an approved vendor code. BOCO manages the complete process from file preparation to official accreditation.

Core required documents for Saudi Electricity Company vendor registration include: a valid Commercial Registration covering relevant activities, Zakat & Tax Certificate, Articles of Incorporation, Company Bank IBAN, Company Profile, and Chamber of Commerce certificate. Additional technical certificates or licenses may be required depending on the type of supply or services being offered.

Saudi Electricity Company vendor registration typically takes 7 to 14 business days after submitting a complete file. This timeline is relatively fast compared to Aramco and SABIC, making SEC vendor registration one of the more accessible accreditations in the energy sector. Document completeness and data accuracy are the primary determinants of speed.

An SEC supplier delivers electrical equipment and materials (transformers, cables, control panels), while an SEC contractor executes grid installation, maintenance, and construction projects. The distinction determines your qualification type and registration requirements. Many companies register in both categories to access the full range of SEC vendor opportunities.

Yes, SEC accepts foreign companies specializing in advanced energy technology and electrical equipment. Saudi companies or those with a local presence have a preference advantage in contract awards. Foreign companies seeking SEC vendor registration typically need a Saudi Commercial Registration or an accredited local commercial agent.

Yes, your Commercial Registration must include activities directly related to your intended supply: electrical equipment supply, network works, system installation, or industrial maintenance. BOCO reviews your business activities before submission and advises on any additions needed to avoid rejection of your SEC vendor registration application.

Renewing your Saudi Electricity Company vendor registration requires updating company data and documents via the SEC procurement portal before the accreditation expires. It is recommended to initiate renewal at least one month before expiry to avoid interrupting your eligibility to participate in SEC vendor tenders.

SEC classifies its vendors into categories including: electrical equipment and devices (transformers, generators, switchgear), network materials and cables, construction and installation works, asset management and maintenance, IT and smart grid solutions, and engineering and consulting services. Each category has its own SEC vendor code and specific registration requirements.
