SOPO Select is a national pre-qualification service which aims to help reduce the financial and administrative burden on both buyers and suppliers by streamlining the supplier selection process.

There are two options for suppliers to consider: SOPO Certify allows suppliers to detail the information commonly requested by public sector buyers; SOPO Accredit requires assessment by a third party across a common range of requirements and demonstrates to buyers that you have achieved a recognised public sector standard.

SOPO Accredit is provided free of charge to buyers as part of BiP’s proven Delta e-tendering system, allowing access to a diverse range of supplier profiles.

Over 60,000 suppliers and 9000 buyers are already registered with this system.
