2. HOW TO FIND OR REQUEST YOUR BUSINESS PARTNER NUMBER?

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 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 request 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. Go to the Register/Edit tile. 
  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 or instructions to request one within 48 working hours. 

C. If your organization has never registered or done business with the IDB:

  1.  Follow these  Instructions to register as a Potential Supplier. 
  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 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.

For further questions or assistance, use the live chat on the BEO Bidder Portal page or email us at ocs.procurement@iadb.org To learn more, you can visit our Corporate Procurement page.
