Please note that, to register, you must have a valid DUNS number (as provided by Dun and Bradstreet) for the organisation which you are registering, who will be entering into a contract if invited to do so at the Invitation to Tender stage. Potential Providers should note that it could take up to 10 working days to obtain a DUNS number.
Full instructions for registration and use of the system can be found at:

Once you have registered on the e-Sourcing Suite, you will need to express your interest for CCTS18A92 - Prize Linked Savings Software and Managed Service . This is done by emailing ExpressionOfInterest@Crowncommercial.gov.uk.


Your email must clearly state:
- name/reference of this procurement (CCTS18A92 - Prize Linked Savings Software and Managed Service)

Crown Commercial Service will then process your registration and assign your organisation to the opportunity. The registered user will receive a notification email to alert them once this has been done.
