What is the International Supplier Network?

The International Supplier Network (ISN) is a central resource that contains information about companies from around the world.

What information is contained in the ISN?

The ISN contains general company information such as date of incorporation, services and goods provided and key locations. It also contains information about a company's legal history including outstanding disputes, key officers and trading history. Other information is also gathered and used to produce an ISN Rating.

How does the ISN work?

Every company within the ISN has a unique serial number. It allows prospective companies to query and register your company via their own procurement systems. Procurement systems such as Ariba can be used to link directly into the ISN making vendor registration almost instant.

How long does it take to register with the ISN?

Online applications are processed within 2 business days. In circumstances where a company has created a local version of the ISN it may take up to 4 weeks to appear, depending on the update cycle.

How much does it cost to register a company in the ISN?

It currently costs £115 per year for a single company registration.
