Registration in the System
1. Being aware of the System Regulations
There are System Regulations in place to establish the rules as to working on the E-Marketplace and other sections of the System. A Member's ignorance of those rules may cause critical deficiencies when conducting Calls for Bids and participation therein. The System Operator shall not be responsible for such deficiencies and strongly recommends to get familiar with the full text of the Regulations.

3. E-Signature is available
Non-resident companies can participate in private-sector calls for bids without having to use an E-Signature (the System will not require one). But to participate in a call for bids of public sector (subject to the Federal Law 223-FZ), E-Signature will be required. If this is the case, to participate in calls for bids, the non-resident company has to establish a representative office (branch) in the Russian Federation. If a representative office (branch) is established in the Russian Federation, it is possible to register such representative office (branch) in the System and work via the account of the representative office using its E-Signature - in this case, the non-resident company will participate in calls for bids not as a foreign company, but as a resident of Russia.
