| 3. Who should register my organisation as a supplier? |
The system allows anyone with the relevant organisation details to register the organisation as a supplier. You should note that the person who registers the organisation will automatically be allocated Administrator status and will therefore receive all emails and notifications associated with the organisation. For this reason we suggest that administrator rights are allocated to a bid co-ordinator in a central department. It is not possible to register different departments as separate organisations unless you have a different DUNS number. |
