The E-Supplier functionality provides suppliers and subcontractors with the capability to gain direct access to the Smart Materials application of an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) or owner/operator (O/O) company, for bidding electronically on quotations or for handling their subcontractor workload.
To gain access, suppliers and subcontractors must request a login account for the Smart Materials application of the client by self-registering using the E-Supplier portal. Entering their company profile information and completing a questionnaire are prerequisites for closing the registration and gaining access to other E-Supplier areas, like uploading reference documents, bidding for quotations, and monitoring the subcontract workload. For more information, see E-Supplier Features.
