AN OVERVIEW OF THE ACCREDITATION PROCEDURE

To provide a complete overview of the portal's features, below is a brief summary of the steps that the supplier must follow to register in the supplier register:

1. Registration Phase: The supplier will receive an email invitation to register on the portal. This email will contain a temporary code, referred to as a token, which is valid for 30 days. The supplier must use this token as soon as possible to proceed to the prequalification phase. Once the registration phase is complete, where the supplier provides the necessary company details for their entry into the supplier database, they will receive confirmation of the registration.
2. Verification Phase: During this phase, an internal user will verify the data and the related documents provided by the supplier during the registration phase. The supplier can only proceed to the next step after the verification is validated.
3. Prequalification Phase: The supplier will need to respond to certain category-specific questionnaires, which may require uploading specific documents. Each category questionnaire is presented to the supplier based on the product category selected during registration. This allows the supplier to respond to a customized questionnaire according to the type of products/services they declared.
4. Qualification Phase: After completing the prequalification phase, the supplier will confirm the completion in the system and notify the client company to initiate the approval process. The Procurement Office can then decide whether to reject or accept the supplier's application, after reviewing a summary of the questionnaire and the data provided. A positive evaluation will grant the supplier final admission to the qualification process, through which a category score will be assigned.
