Adding information about a "Präqualifizierung" (pre-qualification) of your company is not mandatory. If you do not have a pre-qualification code skip this step to continue with your registration, using the "Weiter" button. A pre-qualification is not needed to research or participate in public tenders.
Under "Branche" (branch, sector) you can select the sectors your company offers goods and/or services. Here the "Vergabemarktplatz" uses the categories provided by the EU's common procurement vocabulary (CPV-Code). These categories can help shape your companies' profile for researching public authorities. Categories can be added using the "Kategorien bearbeiten" button. You can either browse the tree-like catalog or use the key word search. Please note that the "Vergabemarktplatz" only uses the German version of the CPV-code. Therefore it might be easier for interested companies to search for the numeric code rather than key words.
Adding CPV-categories to your company profile is not mandatory to participate in public tenders. Categories can also be added to your profile at any time after the registration is complete. To proceed to the next step in the registration process please click the "Weiter" button.
In the next step the user will be asked to provide some personal information. First name, last name, as well as an e-mail address are mandatory fields as indicated by the asterisk. This e-mail address will serve as the login. Click the "Weiter" button to continue the process.
