ESO Procurement Portal

Since 7 November 2022, ESO is running its new procurements through an electronic tendering tool hosted by In-Tend. Any company that wants to participate in ESO procurements will have to register on this tool.

If you have previously been registered in the ESO suppliers data base, your supplier account should have been transferred to the tool automatically. To check this, please navigate to the below link and use the reset password feature to gain access:

You will find a guide “Suppliers. How to Register and modify your data and contact details” at the bottom of the page: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/eso/aspx/BuyerProfiles
