Dear IDB Potential Suppliers, As of July 1st, 2024, the IDB has implemented a new Corporate Procurement policy. All new and existing consulting firms must obtain a Business Partner Number to participate or continue participating in a Bank-Executed Operational Work (BEO) procurement process. Consulting firms interested in participating in a BEO procurement selection process must continue to submit their expressions of interest using the BEO-Bidder Portal.

If your organization has been previously awarded a contract by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), or if any member of your organization has already registered your company in the Business Partner Portal, then your organization already has a Business Partner (BP) Number.

To find or obtain your Business Partner Number:

A. If you have a Business Partner Portal account:

1. Access your account using the link: https://fiori.iadb.org/external

2. Click the “Business Partner: Create, Edit” tab

3. In the Business Partner Profile tab, find your BP number in the upper left corner.

B. If you are unsure or do not know your BP number:

1. Complete this Form.

2. You will receive an email with your BP number number only if your organization has been previously registered in the BPP, or instructions on how to obtain one within 48 working hours.

C. If your organization has never registered in the Business Partner Portal or done business with the IDB:

1. Follow these  Instructions to register as a Potential Supplier. Within 24 hours of registration, you will receive an email inviting you to register your organization on the Business Partner Portal.

2. After registration, access your account using the link:  https://fiori.iadb.org/external  

3. Click the “Business Partner: "Create, Edit” tab, and find your BP number in the upper left corner of the Business Partner Profile tab.

Once you obtain your Business Partner Number, go to the  BEO Bidder Portal  to continue the registration process or update your Organization's Profile. Enter your BP Number in the “Vendor ID (Business Partner Number)” field.

Important:

Do not delay this process. Waiting until the last day could hinder your participation in the BEO procurement process.
