Complete your company profile

You maintain your company profile yourself — it belongs to you, not to the buyer. Your details are reused for every further tender from the same organisation. Entered properly once, they save you the work every time after that.

What belongs in it

• Company name, address and legal form
• A main contact with a phone number that is actually answered, and optionally a deputy
• The details and supporting documents the buying organisation asks for

Exactly which details and documents those are is set by the buying organisation, and it differs from one to the next. The list in your profile is what counts, not this page.

Company lookup via the commercial register

For Swiss companies, many instances can pull your master data from the public commercial register using the UID. That saves typos in the company name and legal form. Whether the lookup is available depends on the instance — if it is not, enter the details by hand.

Check the result either way: what ends up in your profile is what counts.

The recommendation that saves the most

Name a contact who is reachable for the whole duration of the tender — and add a deputy. Follow-up questions in a question round have a narrow window, and an out-of-office reply as your only answer costs you the tender.

What the buyer sees, and what they do not

Your profile is visible to the buying organisation you are registered with. Your details stay in their instance; they are not passed on to other buyers, and there is no cross-company supplier marketplace your profile appears in.

The other way round: internal notes the buying organisation makes about your company are never shown to you. Anything meant for you arrives as a message or as a stated reason — not as a note.

Keep it current

A change of address, a new contact person, an expired certificate: maintain these as they happen. Nothing automatically reminds you when a document is about to expire, and the middle of a live tender is the worst moment to notice.
