Why are descriptions important?
• The description is of crucial importance to identify the
most appropriate suppliers. It is one of the next most
important pieces of information after Category
• You will have selected a product or service category
from over 10,000. This is a fixed piece of text
• The description is free text where you can explain in
more detail your specific needs and any particular
detailed requirements that the supplier needs to know
