Every introduction is built from the notices Guyana's oil buyers post, the Local Content Register, our five checks on each firm, and the firm's own answer.
We read all 314 notices posted from May 2025 to October 2026 on the Local Content Register's notice page, and 149 of their attachments as text. We sorted every title by hand.
notices suit a specialist from abroad: 61 specialist services, 26 specialist equipment, 4 training.
are local work: cleaning, security, vehicles, manpower, building, supplies, and 52 weekly supply-boat lists.
new notices a month suit a specialist from abroad: 29 of 130 since May 2026, 18 of 71 since August.
days from posting to close on the six we timed. One request closed the day it was posted.
A certificate on the register proves a firm applied and was approved. It does not prove the firm does the work. We recommend a partner only when all five hold; a firm that fails one is set aside, with the reason.
On the register today, with the number and expiry recorded. Three of ten fire-safety firms we looked at were not on it.
A website, press coverage, a named contract or a known brand agreement. Found at the source, not in a search summary.
Premises you could visit and a person you could call. Partial addresses and shared mailboxes fail.
Gmail-only contact, no website, no premises, or a list of unrelated sectors on one certificate. Guyana's Local Content Secretariat is setting up a unit against "rent-a-citizen" fronts; these are the signs it will look for.
Not tied, through a brand agreement or a joint venture, to a firm that sells what you sell.
At the free check we ask the top two partners in your category whether they would take a call from a foreign firm in your line. Their answer is part of the check, so you know before you pay whether anyone is open.
On order we introduce you by name to up to three partners, with a short note on your firm and a request for a call. An introduction means the partner has agreed to a first call, not to a partnership.
We do not introduce two rivals from abroad to the same partner in the same month. Where a partner already talks to another firm, we say so.
If fewer than two of your three introductions are accepted within ten working days, half the fee comes back. More introductions after the three cost £150 each.
Each notice's documents say who may answer. We record the rule the buyer applied: certificate required, partner or representation agreement required, or open to foreign firms. Where a buyer's terms carry a withholding clause, we quote the clause and its number. Whether your country has a tax treaty with Guyana (the UK's dates from 1992) is a question for your own tax adviser; we say so rather than guess.
A firm's owners are taken from its own statements and the press, and marked as such. A registry search by a Guyanese attorney is an add-on, quoted and paid to the attorney.
The five checks catch the obvious ones. A site visit by our people in Guyana is the add-on for the partner you intend to sign with.
Most notices close within a month. A search takes ten working days. The point is to be ready for the next notice, not to chase the one that is closing.
We take no fee from any Guyanese partner, so we are on your side of the table only. We never file anything with a Guyanese body on your behalf. We never arrange a partner who holds a name and does no work. We make introductions and give research, not legal or tax advice, and we do not negotiate the partnership for you.
