OVERVIEW OF THE PROCEDURE FOR ACCREDITATION TO THE REGISTER

In order to provide a complete overview of the portal's functionalities, the following is an outline of the steps in which the procedure must be carried out by the supplier in order to be accredited to the Register:

1. Registration phase: the supplier will receive an e-mail inviting him to qualify in the portal. Through this e-mail, he will obtain a temporary code called a token. This code will be valid for 30 days, so it must be used as soon as possible in order to be able to access the next pre-qualification phase. Upon completion of the registration phase, in which the candidate company will provide the master data required for the registration in the supplier registry, the supplier will receive notification of successful registration.

2. Pre-qualification phase: in which the supplier must answer certain category questionnaires for which certain documents may need to be uploaded. Each category questionnaire is presented to the supplier, depending on the product category selected by the supplier during registration. In this way, by being able to select several product categories, the supplier will be able to answer a customised questionnaire based on the type of products/services declared. 

3. Pre-qualification phase: once the pre-qualification phase is over, the supplier confirms that it has been completed in the system and triggers a communication to the customer company to activate the approval phase. The Procurement Department can then decide whether or not to reject the supplier's application by consulting a summary of the questionnaire and the data filled in by the supplier. The positive outcome of this evaluation may enable the supplier's final admission to the qualification process, through which it will be assigned a category score.
