Use this process to select or update the Categories your organisation is registered for on a Supplier List. Categories organise and group suppliers and selecting the right ones is necessary to access specific Public Tenders. This process applies to Public Marketplace lists and to Preferred Supplier Lists where the list owner has granted permission.
Prerequisites
- You must be a Vendor Admin or Colleague.
- The Supplier List must be a Public Marketplace list, or a Preferred Supplier List where the List Owner has allowed Suppliers to manage their own categories.
Steps
- On the homepage, select Manage categories under Supplier Lists.
- Locate the relevant Supplier List and click the blue numbered button (e.g., 'x' of 'y') to the right of the list.
- Note: If you see a single number in the blue button, you cannot manage your own categories for that list.
- On the next page, check the boxes for the Categories that align with your areas of service.
- Click Update to save your changes.
Results/validation
The new categories are now registered to your account for that Supplier List, which may affect your access to specific Public Tenders.

Troubleshooting
- Cannot select new categories: For Preferred Supplier Lists, the List Owner may have disabled the ability for Suppliers to manage their own categories. If so, contact the List Owner to request changes.
Limits & notes
