NIPEX vendor registration and NJQS prequalification support
NIPEX registration in Nigeria
Register your company on the Nigerian Petroleum Exchange and complete the supplier profile used for oil and gas qualification. We prepare the company information, match the right product codes, complete the portal stages and follow the file through review.
Does your company need NIPEX registration?
NIPEX connects qualified suppliers with oil and gas operators that use the platform for procurement and tendering. Registration gives your company a supplier record. Approval for a product or service category still depends on the evidence behind that record.
A company that wants to bid for operator work should prepare its corporate, financial, technical and regulatory file before opening the questionnaire. Review the NIPEX registration requirements in Nigeria if you want the detailed document checklist first.

How NIPEX supplier registration is organised
The current process uses SAP Ariba for supplier registration and the NIPEX Vendor Management System for the company profile. Product codes and supporting evidence determine the work categories attached to the supplier.
SAP Ariba registration
The company starts from the official NIPEX registration route, submits its basic details and completes the supplier registration questionnaire on SAP Business Network.
Vendor Management System
After approval, the supplier uses the SAP Business Network identification number to activate the NIPEX Vendor Management System profile and continue qualification.
Product codes and qualification
The supplier selects product or service codes that match its permits, personnel, equipment, completed work and other supporting capability records.
NIPEX registration requirements
The portal asks for basic company details first, then requires a fuller qualification file. The final uploads depend on the product codes and whether the supplier must complete an audit.
CAC Certificate of Incorporation and current company information
Tax Identification Number, VAT evidence and current Tax Clearance Certificate
Company bank details, reference letter and financial information
Valid NUPRC or NMDPRA permit for regulated petroleum services
Company profile, organisation chart, staff CVs and HSE records
Equipment, completed work, client references and product code evidence
How to register on the NIPEX portal
The official 2026 NIPEX registration guide takes new suppliers through SAP Ariba before the Vendor Management System. The company name, CAC number and email should remain consistent across both systems.
1. Prepare the company file
Check the company identity, permits, tax records, capability evidence and the product codes you intend to request.
2. Start SAP Ariba registration
Submit the NIPEX supplier request and create or connect the company’s SAP Business Network account after invitation.
3. Complete the questionnaire
Enter the corporate and supplier information, upload the requested evidence and submit the complete response for approval.
4. Activate the VMS profile
Use the supplier identification number from the approval email to register and sign in to the NIPEX Vendor Management System.
5. Complete qualification
Finish the company profile, resolve queries, support any required audit and keep the annual questionnaire current.
What delays NIPEX vendor registration?
NIPEX checks whether the company information and requested work categories agree. A broad list of product codes with weak evidence usually creates more questions and a longer review.
Do not select product codes only because they appear attractive. Each code can require a matching permit, equipment record, competent person or NCEC category.
The CAC number or company name is entered differently across SAP Ariba and VMS.
Regulatory permits are expired or do not cover the requested product codes.
Tax, bank, financial or contact information is incomplete.
Staff, equipment and completed work do not support the selected categories.
The questionnaire is submitted before every required upload has been checked.
How we handle your NIPEX registration
We build the supplier profile around the work your company can prove it performs. That produces a cleaner category request and a file that is easier to defend during review.
Choose NIPEX product codes carefully
Your product codes determine the opportunities your company can qualify for and the evidence NIPEX may request. Read our guide to NIPEX product codes in Nigeria before you submit a long category list.
