Registration on the supplier portal
In order to communicate with us via the supplier portal, you need to go through the registration process for the SAP Ariba portal, see below, or in the manual here.
To begin, you must receive a registration invitation from our purchasing department. If you are already in touch with a relevant CEZ Group buyer, please contact them directly to request the registration email. To complete your registration, you will need to submit a completed Authorization / Notification form, please refer to the procedure below for details.
If you do not have contact with a specific buyer and are interested in becoming our supplier, you can alternatively use the CEZ Group Service Desk (servicedesk@cez.cz) and request registration on the portal.
However, submitting a request does not guarantee approval as a CEZ Group supplier. We encourage you to monitor public procurement opportunities published in the National Electronic Tool (NEN), where you can apply for tenders to supply goods and services to CEZ Group.
Sending documents for new supplier registration
What to do to register as a new CEZ Group supplier on Ariba?
To successfully start the registration, you must send the completed Authorization / Notification to represent the company form to the buyer‘s email address, signed by the persons who are authorized to act on behalf of your company according to the Commercial Register. The original of this completed Authorization / Notification with officially certified signatures must be sent to the address below:
ČEZ, a. s.
Útvar podpora nákupu
Osvoboditelů 320
440 01 Louny
You can replace the paper form of the Authorization / Notification with an electronic form with a guaranteed electronic signature.
If you used the Service Desk alternative, wait for a response and follow the provided process.
What is the difference between the Authorization and the Notification?
-
Authorization form: Use if you are authorized by your employer to act on behalf of your company. For example, submitting bids for tenders, confirming orders, etc.
-
Notification form: Use if you, as the Main Contact Person, are also a member of the company's statutory body or a company representative (as a representative, you must attach the power of attorney granted to you with officially certified signatures to the Notification).
Email with registration link
In the email that arrives to your company's Main Contact Person (MCP), you will find a link to the registration page on the SAP Ariba portal. Without this link, you will not be connected to the CEZ Group on the SAP Ariba portal. By clicking on the provided link, you will be redirected to the registration page.
MCP is your primary representative on the Ariba portal, responsible for creating and managing your company profile, adding additional contact persons, communicating with CEZ Group (and other customers), and participating in business processes.
Filling in registration details
If your company is already registered on the SAP Ariba portal, you will be able to log in using your existing account. Otherwise, you will need to register.

Log in to the SAP Ariba portal to register.
Connecting with CEZ Group
In order to communicate with CEZ Group via the SAP Ariba portal, you must then complete a short questionnaire, which can be found in the "Proposals and Questionnaires" tab (see PDF Registration Manual). After successfully completing the questionnaire, a confirmation of successful connection to CEZ Group will be sent to the registrant's email.
Adding additional contact persons
If you want to add additional contact persons for your company to SAP Ariba, you can add them in the Settings/Users section, see the PDF Registration Manual.
Adding additional contact persons brings advantages, such as ensuring continuity and representation, possible division of responsibilities (administrative contact, business contact, financial contact, etc.), reducing the risk of losing access, or flexibility when participating in tenders and orders.
