You may block a service provider who is not part of your network to prevent users in your company from sending an invitation to that provider.
Alternately, should you want to block an in-network provider for reasons such as the provider offering unsatisfactory work or causing damages to existing systems, you may delete the provider.
Note: Before you can block a service provider, you must remove the provider from all assigned locations and work orders.
How to Block a Service Provider

Note: In case an invitation was sent to the service provider before you blocked the provider, the invitation becomes inactive.
