// FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to become a Nexim supplier?
Registration is free. We do not charge set-up fees, maintenance fees or commissions. Beware of those who ask for payment to "enable" you: it's not us.
How long does the qualification last?
Vendor qualification lasts 24 months. Renewal is automatic if documents remain valid (contribution certificate, visura, insurance). Critical categories require annual audit.
Can I supply other Nexim branches (USA, UAE, Brazil)?
Yes. The qualification is unique and entitles you to supply all group companies. Each branch issues local POs and invoices, but the vendor code is global.
Do you work with sub-suppliers and sole traders?
Yes, we accept S.r.l., S.p.A., S.r.l.s., sole traders, professionals with VAT. Individuals without VAT are managed via different contracts (occasional collaboration, self-employed).
How does code-of-ethics signing work?
Advanced e-signature on the portal (eIDAS-compliant). No software to install, nothing to print.
How soon will I receive the first tender?
Varies by category. High-turnover categories (IT services, events, logistics) issue weekly RFPs. Infrastructure categories (datacenter, telco) monthly or quarterly.
What if I dispute a payment?
Open a dispute ticket on the portal. Response within 5 business days from the Procurement Manager dedicated to your category. In case of disagreement, mediation at the Milan Chamber of Commerce.
