No. Renewal is not automatic but will take a few minutes to renew, just as the initial certification does. The process needs an update of all documents’ required submittal, renewal of attestations and the digital identity verification process.
You will be notified by email when your certification is due for renewal, and you will not be able to begin the renewal process until you have received that email.
If your business does not pass the criteria and therefore is not issued a certification, SupplierGATEWAY will refund your business 50% of the application fee. This does not apply to those who are premium subscribers or paid by corporate sponsors.
