Four steps, from your account to the mandate
The usual public procurement process: a signed purchase order, an invoice on Chorus Pro, payment by mandate.
Verified public authority account
Create your account as a public authority with your SIRET number, then upload your supporting documents from your customer area. We verify your account before your first order.
Once, before your first orderCart and purchase order
Fill your cart, enter your Chorus Pro references and download the purchase order pre-filled with your cart. Have it signed and stamped by your authorising officer, then upload it with your order.

No payment when orderingWhat you may be wondering
What is the service code?
It identifies, within your organisation, the department that processes the invoice on Chorus Pro. Some organisations require it, others do not: your finance department can tell you. When you order, the form shows which references are required for your billing SIRET.
What is the commitment number?
It is the legal commitment or purchase order number issued by your accounting system. When your organisation requires it, it appears on the purchase order and on the invoice filed on Chorus Pro.
What are the lead times?
Your order is shipped once we have checked your signed purchase order. The invoice is filed on Chorus Pro after delivery, and payment by administrative mandate is due within 30 days of receipt of the invoice, or 50 days for public hospitals.
Can I get a proforma quote first?
Yes. From your cart, the Request a quote button sends you a proforma quote as a PDF by email, so you can commit the expenditure before ordering. Your cart is kept: you can order afterwards.
