When registering with the portal, please complete as much of the information as possible.
When entering a contact email address for both the Primary and Additional Users, you are advised to use a generic address which can be readily accessed by more than one person i.e. "tenders@xyz.com ", rather than a personal address such as "RKipling@xyz.com ". This will ensure that any communications sent by us via the portal will be read even if an individual in unavailable through leave or sickness, for example.
Also, you can include as many "Business Classifications" as you think are appropriate (the wild card for searching is "_") but, as a minimum, can you please include "4155 - Travel - Air", "4300 - Travel - Hotels", and"4150 - Travel - Train/Ferry/Coach/Bus" - which are the closest internal matches for the forthcoming project.
