What information will be required for supplier registration?
Suppliers will be required to submit their core business information which can then be shared across multiple bids and customers. This includes business information and records of accreditations and financial information. Depending on the structure of your business, this also includes information such as connected persons. Suppliers will also need to declare accuracy of this information. The good news is that once this is completed it will be simple to review it and re-use it every time for each tender. We suggest you start getting this ready now in preparation for go-live.
