How registration in SMaRT works

In order to register your company as a supplier, you must complete the registration process directly in the system. The system gives you step-by-step instructions until all necessary information has been provided.

To start the registration process, you have to enter your address and tax details as well as your user data. The system will then send you an activation e-mail. Once you have activated your user and logged in from the home page, you can start the registration process. It is divided into several steps.

Add additional master data to the information you have already submitted. Select at least one commodity group that you want to supply. The system will show directly, if a commodity group requires prequalification.

Upload a business letter from your company in PDF format.

Once you have completed and submitted your registration, your application will be reviewed by Deutsche Bahn's Supplier Master Data team. You will automatically be notified by e-mail once this is done.

The basis for our cooperation is set.

Note: Please note that registering in the SMaRT system does not legally entitle you to take part in a tender process, be considered for a contract award, or be guaranteed a contract. If you would like to participate in contract awards, please register in the bidder portal.
