Step 2 – Registration in NCIS and submission of the required documents
Once included in RAAEY’s User Registry, the next step is to register in DESFA’s Commercial Information System (NCIS) where all documents and data required for signing a Framework Agreement can be submitted electronically.
After creating the company profile within the platform, you can follow the instructions for access rights, complete the required data and afterwards submit the required documents.
