You will then be redirected to the NIPEZ Portal's website and prompted to create a user account.
Successful registration of "an entity" (economic operator) allows the use of multiple connected public procurement electronic tools — including Tender arena — operated in the Czech Republic, all via a single user account.
The NIPEZ Portal is the central interface for managing entities (economic operators), user accounts and user permissions within the National Infrastructure for Electronic Procurement (NIPEZ).
A comprehensive user manual for the NIPEZ Portal can be found here: podpora.nipez.cz/en/registrace-nipez/latest/.
Any person wishing to represent an economic operator within the NIPEZ ecosystem has to begin by creating a user account.

Select Login from Tender arena's top menu and then press Log in as NIPEZ.
Upon selecting the login method and successfully logging in, the user is redirected back to Tender arena's website. If the user's permissions allow the representation of multiple entities (economic operators) simultaneously, first you have to choose under which entity you want to continue:
The name of the chosen entity is then visible below the user's name in the top right corner:
