A Supplier Day will be held on 23rd June 2016 at which HMRC will share with the supplier community its thinking around this proposal, which will include a joint question and answer session.
The Awarding Authority (HMRC) use an HMRC instance of SAP Ariba Sourcing Pro (hereafter referred to as HMRC's instance of SAP Ariba) to facilitate the procurement process and this must be used by economic operators to register for the supplier day or express an interest and/or bid for the opportunity described in this Contract Notice. (Further information about HMRC's instance of SAP Ariba, a Suppliers Guide and general information about supplying to HMRC is available on the HMRC website: www.hmrc.gov.uk/about/supplying.htm)
Economic operators who have used HMRC's instance of SAP Ariba previously: you will be registered as part of the HMRC Ariba Supplier Network and you should access the system to obtain your organisation's account ID number. Contact details on the system should be checked and, where necessary, additional users added to help avoid multiple registrations for the same organisation. Previously registered users having difficulty recovering their account ID number or identifying users within their organisation should email for assistance sapariba.hmrcsupport@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk
Economic operators using HMRC's instance of SAP Ariba for the first time, including suppliers who are already registered on the wider SAP Ariba supplier network, will need to register at http://hmrc.supplier-eu.ariba.com/ad/register/SSOActions?type=full. (You must ensure that you are directed to the registration page for HMRC's instance of SAP Ariba, identified with the HMRC logo at the top of the page, and to do this you may need to cut and paste the web address directly into your web browser)
As part of the registration process you will receive a system generated email asking you to activate your SAP Ariba supplier account by verifying your email address. Once you have completed the activation process you will receive a further email by return confirming the ‘registration process is now complete’ and providing you with ‘your organisation's account ID’ number.
If an email response from HMRC is not received within one working day of your request, please re-contact sapariba.hmrcsupport@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk (after first checking your spam in-box) notifying non-receipt and confirming when your registration request was first made.
