IPG Registration Instructions~26.docx

This document is instructional guidance from the State of Illinois regarding vendor registration procedures within the IPG (Illinois Procurement Gateway) system. The file outlines the step-by-step process for vendors to update or resubmit their registration information through their vendor accounts. Vendors must log into their IPG accounts, navigate to the Dashboard, and access the "Start/Renew Vendor Registration" option under Key Actions. From there, vendors select "New Vendor Registration & Renewal" and choose "State of Illinois Vendor Registration" from the available options. The registration process allows vendors to use autofill functionality by selecting a previous active or denied registration as a template, or alternatively, to begin with a blank registration form.

The registration process requires vendors to complete all necessary forms with any required changes and attach supporting documents as needed. After completing each form section, vendors must click "Save and Return" to preserve their entries. Once all forms are completed and documents are attached, vendors submit their registration by clicking "Next" to initiate the review process. This procedure applies to all vendors seeking to register or maintain active vendor status with the State of Illinois procurement system.
