Sonatrach (Algeria) — Vendor Registration: Helpful Guide

Sonatrach Algeria: A Comprehensive Guide to New Vendor Registration

• Duration: 4–8 weeks typically
• Stages:
  • Upon approval, vendor receives a Sonatrach Vendor Code (SVM – Sonatrach Vendor Master)
  • Vendor is listed in the approved supplier database and can receive tender invitations via TebNet
  1. Legal Existence: Vendors must provide a valid Registre de Commerce (Trade Registry) for local companies or equivalent documentation for foreign entities.
  2. Fiscal Regularity: A critical component is the Attestation de Situation Fiscale (Tax Situation Certificate). This document proves the vendor has no outstanding tax debts. Under new, stricter enforcement, vendors with even minor fiscal irregularities are automatically disqualified by the system or the reviewing committees.
  3. CNAS Clearance: Proof of compliance with the Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale (National Social Security Fund) is mandatory. Sonatrach will not engage with companies that exploit labor or evade social contributions.
  4. Blacklisting Check: The system cross-references the "Liste Noire" (Blacklist). Any company or its legal representatives previously blacklisted for corruption, breach of contract, or fraud are barred from registration.
