Providing access to contracts
In order for suppliers to be able to see contracts in the Portal, they must be added as an external supplier contact to the contract.
If a supplier is unable to see one of their current contracts and access to the contract is required, liaise with the relevant Contract Manager and they will assign the supplier as a contact to the contract.
Supplier Insurances
From the Supplier Insurance tab you can view the insurance items listed for you, as a supplier. The Supplier Insurance tab lists the Insurer, policy number, amount insured, insurance type, status, expiry date and commencement date for each policy.
From this tab you can also create a new supplier insurance item.

- Complete the insurance detail fields, and upload attachments if applicable.
- Select the SUBMIT button. You will be prompted to confirm your submission. Select Continue to confirm.
- The new insurance item appears in the Insurance List with the status of In Progress.
