Apply to register as a vendor
There are specific forms that must be submitted and requirements that need to be met for individuals who wish to apply to the ADP for registered vendor status. Applicants are encouraged to review registration requirements and relevant policy manuals before completing and submitting an application.
Registration requirements for new vendors
Read the Guide to Vendor Registration Requirements for New Vendors before you begin to complete the application form, as it contains essential information about the requirements for registration with the ADP.
On the last page of the guide, you will find a checklist of documents that are required as part of your application for registration. Use this list to ensure that you are including all of the required documents with your application, including the Confirmation of Payment Instructions form.
Manuals and vendor agreement template
Read the Policies and Procedures Manual for the Assistive Devices Program and the Program’s Policy and Administration Manuals before submitting an application for registration as a vendor. The Manuals, together with the Vendor Agreement form every vendor’s contractual agreement with the ADP.
The template of the Vendor Agreement is available for your review so that all prospective vendors will have an opportunity to read the contract that they will be required to sign. Do not complete and sign this template. If approved as an ADP registered Vendor, the ADP will send out a completed Agreement to you.
