AWARD® allows customers to set up one or more Authorities within their account.
An Authority represents a Contracting Authority and is used to store relevant information, such as the authority's name, address, and identifiers. Additionally, it stores a CDP (Central Digital Platform) API key, which AWARD® requires to access the CDP on the authority's behalf. This API key is obtained through the authority's CDP portal and provided to eSenders.
Key Points:
- Authority Information: Store details about the authority, including name, address, and identifiers.
- CDP API Key: Required for accessing the CDP, obtained through the authority's CDP portal.
- Optional API Key: An Authority does not need a CDP API key unless access to the CDP is required.
Authorities are used when setting up a Procurement in AWARD®.
The Authorities feature is in beta production and can be made available to our customers upon request. Please get in touch with Steve Morton ([email protected]) .
