How to Register and Operate on Acquisti in rete

New autentication

To use the Acquisti in rete PA platform, economic operators must complete the following two steps:

1. User Registration
2. Vendor Qualification (required only for operations on MePA or SDAPA)

These procedures apply to both Italian and foreign users.

The registration process depends on whether the user holds a recognised digital identity.

• Go to the homepage and click LOGIN
• Select your identity provider
• Upon successful authentication, complete your user profile
• If you intend to operate on MePA or SDAPA, proceed to the Vendor Qualification step

Without SPID, CIE, CNS, or eIDAS - SIGN UP

3. You will receive a one-time password (OTP) via email

Verify device

• Before the session, verify that your device is compatible
• During the interview, an operator will verify your personal data and passport
• The session may be conducted in Italian or English

Notification of Successful Verification

If the verification is successful, you will receive three separate emails:

1. First email: contains the username assigned by the system.
2. Second email: provides a link to set your password.
3. Third email includes a link to activate two-factor authentication (valid for 24 hours from the time of receipt).

Important

If the system detects a pre‑existing account created with the same information, that account will be reactivated.

Activation of Two‑Factor Authentication

Email

Once you have obtained your username and password, to proceed with the activation of two-factor authentication, you must download Microsoft Authenticator from your app store. After downloading the application, select the link provided in the third email to activate two-factor authentication; you will be redirected to the Acquisti in Rete homepage.

After you have entered your credentials, you will be redirected to a page of the website where a QR code will be displayed. Please scan this code using the Microsoft Authenticator application you have previously installed. Once the scan is complete, two‑factor authentication will be successfully activated.
