6 years ago Checking the CSV download I see both:
supplierregistration.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/[STRING]
and
sid4gov.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/[STRING]
formats, so I would assume this has something to do with the system via which the supplier was registered.
I will stage this list for inclusion as a third-party list (i.e. low priority).
Although the list does include some non-governmental bodies (e.g. NEWMAN STEWART LIMITED) - I assume due to the fact they have registered to advertise subcontracts through Contracts Finder, I don't think this list would ever be recommended for bodies other than government agencies, so I will enter it into org-id.guide accordingly.
Proposal
The name of the list (or the organization that manages the list)
Supplier Registration Service, Crown Commercial Service, UK
A suggested code for the list (optional)
GB-SRS
