Registration of a Contracting Authority
Would you like to procure public contracts? Do you demand supplies, services, or construction works for your organization? Are you going to award a public contract due to grant regulations? Do you need to create a contracting authority profile and publish the awarded public contracts on it? In such a case, perform the registration as a contracting authority.
Registration of a contracting authority can be carried out in two ways:
by clicking on the "Contracting Authority + Economic Operator" option, where verification is performed via CAAIS/NIA,
by clicking on the "Contracting Authority (without CAAIS)" option, where you complete the registration and submit the application with all required details directly on the public portal of the NEN system.
Registration using CAAIS/NIA
Completion of the registration application
To verify whether you are already registered in the NEN system, please check the Register of economic operators.
Registration in the NEN system is initiated via the Registration option, followed by clicking on the "Contracting Authority + Economic Operator" option.
You will then be redirected to the NIPEZ portal, where it is necessary to complete a separate registration of the person and subsequently register the entity.
Detailed information on registration in the NIPEZ portal can be found in the article Registration in the NIPEZ Portal.
Registration without using CAAIS/NIA
To confirm whether you are already registered in the NEN system, please take a look into the Register of contracting authorities.
