For Suppliers

You've been invited to a sourcing event on MadSourcing

Here's what to expect — and how to submit the best possible response.

✉

You'll receive an invitation email

A procurement team using MadSourcing has identified you as a potential supplier. The email contains a link to the sourcing event with all details and requirements.

📋

Respond with structured cards

Instead of writing a free-form PDF, you'll answer specific questions through structured response cards. Numbers go in number fields. Tables go in table fields. It's faster for you and fairer for everyone.

🔒

Your data is protected

Your responses are only visible to the buying organization. Other suppliers cannot see your submission. MadSourcing enforces strict data isolation between all participants.

How It Works

How it works for you

1

Open the invitation link

No account needed. The link takes you directly to the event details and requirements.

Complete any pre-qualification steps

Depending on the event, you may need to sign an NDA or complete compliance requirements before accessing the full collection cards. This is configured by the buying organization.

3

Review the requirements and submit your response

Read the sourcing requirements and collection template. Fill in the response cards. Upload supporting documents if requested. Ask questions through the Q&A feature if anything is unclear.

4

Wait for the outcome

The buying organization will evaluate all responses and notify you of the decision through the platform.

Common questions

This also makes it easier to participate in future events across different buyers.

Use the built-in Q&A feature to ask the buying organization directly. All questions and answers are visible to all invited suppliers for full transparency.
Your response data is stored securely and only accessible by the buying organization that invited you. It is never shared with other buyers, used for marketing, or used to train AI models. You can request deletion at any time.
