D-U-N-S number for international tenders
For Ukrainian companies, participation in international tenders increasingly requires not only a high-quality commercial proposal but also standardised international business identification.
For Ukrainian firms aiming to compete in international procurement opportunities, possessing a D-U-N-S Number has become essential. This nine-digit identification code, issued by Dun & Bradstreet, serves as a globally recognized reference for businesses. International companies, financial institutions, and even some government entities use the D-U-N-S Number to accurately identify and verify legal entities.
Maksym Urakin explained that a tender is not initiated by price, but rather by ensuring the legitimacy of the counterparty. Hence, the D-U-N-S Number facilitates the global connection of Ukrainian companies to the Dun & Bradstreet database, simplifying the verification process for potential partners worldwide.
Before applying for or updating a D-U-N-S Number, a company must meticulously cross-check all its details - legal name, address, business structure, contact information, and management data - to guarantee consistency across all platforms. Any inconsistencies may impede verification.
The D-U-N-S Number holds particular importance for Ukrainian entities aspiring to serve as suppliers to large multinational corporations, engage with global IT platforms, participate in donor-organised procurement processes, or expand into markets like the EU, US, and others. However, it is crucial to understand that the number alone does not guarantee tender success. Its primary role is to offer a standardized way to identify and cross-reference a business within the international framework provided by Dun & Bradstreet.
Dun & Bradstreet operates the global D-U-N-S business identification system, supplying verification solutions, risk analysis, compliance assistance, and supplier management tools. In Ukraine, companies interested in obtaining or updating their D-U-N-S Number should reach out to the D&B - Interfax-Ukraine branch. Dun & Bradstreet, founded in 1841, offers comprehensive business data and analytical services to organizations worldwide.
The Ukrainian branch of the company can be contacted via their D&B resource (dnb.ua), email at [email protected], or by calling +38 (044) 270-65-74.
