Registering as a user

If a business entity is not yet registered as a bidder, the initial registration process as a bidder must be completed.

If your company is already registered as a bidder and the bidder administrator allows users of the company to register on their own, then you can go to the Bidder tab and click on the link highlighted in red in the image below to access the Registering as a user of a bidder form.

You will then get to the Bidder directory . In the detailed view, a Register as a user of the bidder button will be shown, provided the bidder administrator allows you to do so.

If your company is already registered as a bidder and the bidder administrator does not allow users of the company to register on their own, you must contact a bidder administrator listed in the bidder directory and request him to register you..

Clicking on the Register as a user of the bidder button will take you to the User profile section of the form.

User profile

Please enter your data as the bidder’s contact person here. In the Login name field, select which name you will use to log in to Simap. If the login name has already been registered in the system, you will be prompted to select a different login name.

You can go to the next section of the form by clicking on the Next button or to the previous section by clicking on the Back button. All fields flagged with * are mandatory. They must be filled in to proceed to the next section of the form.

The user registration process can be cancelled by clicking on the Cancel button.


Terms of Contract

Registration is only possible if you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the simap.ch association.


Completion of registration process

After completing all steps in the form you will receive the following message:

An email with a registration link is being sent to your email address. Click on the link to set your password and complete the registration process.

The password must contain minimum 8 characters, maximum 20, of which at least 1 number, 1 lowercase letter, 1 uppercase letter.

Afterwards you will be prompted to login for the first time.

Depending on the Authentication settings for your company, you may be required to enter a one-time password when registering for a tender. The one-time password will be sent to you either by SMS or email.

Logging in for the first time completes your registration as a user. Before you can apply for projects, however, your user profile must be activated by the bidder administrator for your company. The bidder administrator will receive an email requesting the activation of a user. You will receive an email from the system informing you when your user profile has been activated by the bidder administrator.
