Doing business with ESS

ESS welcomes new suppliers who can offer products and services at competitive prices. This page serves as an overview of the entry points to ESS, providing guidance on how companies can become suppliers to ESS.


How to become an ESS business partner

Companies interested in ESS business opportunities can register a business profile in the ESS Supplier Portal to enable matching of potential suppliers with ongoing procurements. The Supplier Portal is an electronic tendering system used to publish tenders and relevant documentation and to receive submitted bids for ongoing procurements.

Current and forthcoming business opportunities at ESS are posted in the Procurement Listings.

Completed tenders are published quarterly in the Contract Award Notices.

All procurement follows the European Spallation Source ERIC Procurement Rules, which align with the EU treaty principles of transparency, non-discrimination and competition. 

Supplier guidelines are available to suppliers and potential suppliers to ESS to advise on the procurement process.


Please contact ESS Procurement for further support.
