Supplier-Registration-Process-12.17.21.pdf

The document outlines the vendor registration process for entities interested in doing business with the City of Minneapolis. Vendors must register in the eSupplier portal by completing the Bidder/Payee Registration. A "Bidder" is a new entity seeking to work with the City, while a "supplier" is an entity that has completed registration and been issued a Supplier ID. Payees are entities to be paid by the City but do not provide goods or services. The registration process involves creating a User ID and receiving a temporary password via email. Existing suppliers should not complete the Bidder/Payee Registration. Once awarded work, a W-9 form is requested, and suppliers can opt for faster ACH payments. Permanent suppliers can make changes through the eSupplier portal. Departments can self-register vendors, except for certain service-related suppliers. Invoices should include the Supplier ID and be submitted through the portal. Exceptions to self-registration can complete a fillable supplier application and W9 form.
