PROCESS FLOW 1 / 6

Step 1: Register

Step by step

  1. 1

    Register as a Supplier

    Use the registration form and select Supplier. Enter the company identity and your working email. Follow the confirmation message, then sign in.

  2. 2

    Complete company verification

    Upload company documents in Company. Check the extracted legal name, registration number, address and directors. Trading and payout actions remain restricted until the company is verified.

  3. 3

    Find and bid on relevant work

    Open Workspace → Tenders and filter by category, industry and delivery region. Read the requirement and closing countdown. The bid form also requires an effective supplier financial score; open Company → Financial evidence if it is unavailable. Submit a price you can honour; improving a bid does not guarantee an award.

  4. 4

    Sign and plan delivery

    If awarded, open the order and review the supply contract before signing. The buyer selects payment terms after both signatures. Use Deal chat for specifications and delivery clarifications.

  5. 5

    Deliver and track payment

    For milestone orders, submit evidence for each funded milestone. For due-date orders, follow the expected date or propose early payment when eligible. Check the payment record for confirmation, and use private support if beneficiary details or documents need clarification.

Expected outcome

An awarded, documented order with a traceable supplier payout.

Important checks

  • A bid, signed contract or accepted early-payment offer does not itself confirm money received.

Questions & answers

Do I need to connect accounting to start?

Accounting is not the only financial-evidence route. You can submit six months of bank statements. Company verification is still mandatory.

Can I delegate part of the order?

Yes. Verified suppliers can create suborders under the supplier-chain flow; the upstream supplier remains responsible for its own order.
