   • Certifications (ISO standards, local content, qualification certificates, etc.).
4. Preparing and organizing your company profile: Refining your company profile, arranging project references, and compiling the required technical and financial information according to each entity’s templates and expectations.
5. Online registration and data submission: Completing the registration forms on the respective platforms (Aramco, SABIC, NEOM), uploading documents and ensuring consistency of data across systems.
6. Handling queries and additional requests: Following up on application status, responding to requests for clarification, and providing any additional documents required during evaluation.
