We strongly suggest that you register your company as a vendor in our iSupplier Portal. There are two separate ways to register as a vendor and it is important that you read all the instructions below to determine which process you should follow.
Existing vendors
If your business has previously registered with CTA, had a contract (excluding subcontractors) or received a payment from the CTA, you are considered to be an existing vendor. Please send an email to: [email protected] and request an iSupplier Invitation. You must include your business name, email address to where the iSupplier invitation should be sent along with your name and phone number. You will receive an email from CTA with the status of your invitation request.
