Help & FAQs

Registering as a supplier will give you access to Response Manager and Profile Manager:

Response Manager allows you to view, manage and track your responses to ITTs, RFQs and other documents.

Profile Manager allows you to view, edit and publish your organization’s Supplier Profile. Buyers can search Supplier Information Database (SID) for profiles and invite suppliers to join their supplier lists, participate in a tender exercise or request for quotation or contact suppliers as part of any market-scoping exercise.

Your username is the email address you registered with. If you are unable to log in with the password you have, click Reset Password below the log in area and follow the steps shown.

You should have received an email from the buyer detailing the steps to follow. If you have not received the email, log in to your account and click ‘Response Manager’. This should list any invites you have received and you can accept or decline the opportunity.

If you are unable to find the opportunity you’ve been invited to, you may be logging in with different registered details to those that the buyer holds. If this is the case, log in with the email address the invite was originally sent to. Alternatively, you can contact the buyer directly and ensure they amend the details to match your log in credentials.

To ensure the Buyer can see your response, you must have completed and submitted your response by the deadline date/time. You can check if your response has been submitted successfully within the ‘Responses’ section of Response Manager where it will show the current status. The entire response journey is detailed within the Response Manager Quick Start Guide available online.

You can edit your response within ‘Stage Two: Prepare Response’ but you need to withdraw it first. Once you’ve edited your response, click ‘Proceed to Stage Three’ where you can resubmit your response.

To withdraw your response, providing that the deadline date has not passed, log in to your account, click ‘Response Manager’ and select the relevant opportunity. Within ‘Stage Three: Submit Response’ click on ‘Withdraw Response’.
