To find out more about RBC please visit our
Corporate Profile
web site.
How to Register to Become a Potential Vendor with RBC
To be considered as a potential vendor, you must register by completing our Vendor Information Form.
Once you complete and submit the form, your information will be part of our Potential Vendor Database,
where it will remain for two (2) years. The
Vendor Information Form is your opportunity to tell us about your
company, and it is our primary source of vendor information
that we refer to when we assess the market for new sourcing opportunities.
Completing the registration ensures your company will be considered for bid but it does not guarantee that
your company will receive an invitation to bid or a contract from us, nor does it imply that your company has any
type of procurement relationship with us, either now or in the future. In the event RBC considers a sourcing event
for products or services described in your vendor registration, your application may be considered and we may contact you.
Please note that with respect to the upcoming Vancouver 2010 Olympic and
Paralympic Winter Games, the Vendor Information Form has been updated to include
a category listing for Vancouver 2010. This will now allow potential vendors an
opportunity to highlight their interest in providing a product or service during
the Games.
Once you have completed and submitted our Vendor Information Form, you will receive an electronic
acknowledgement confirming that we have received your information.
For assistance in completing the Vendor Information Form, please refer to our
Help page
or if you have trouble submitting the form contact us at
procurementsupport@rbc.com.
