Getting a Userid and Password
1. ALLETE will register you to the Oracle System

be “From: P1 Oracle Applications”. (The example below is a bit different as it is an example from our test system)

Click
. This link will take you to the log on page. (logging on is covered in section 3 “viewing bid documents”
Make note of your userid and password contained in the e-mail.
HINT: You may want to Copy (ctl-c) the password, so it’s easy to enter into the log on page (make sure no spaces, or the
period, as the password is at the end of the sentence.

registration e-mail you received. NOTE: It is a system generated password, and therefore may contain some unique

into the password field.

Closing the Sourcing Event prior to the published close date
If all bids are in, the buyer reserves the right to close the Sourcing Event prior to the published close date.
Extending the Sourcing Event
It is not our business practice to extend a Sourcing Event beyond the published close date. However, if a bidder is having
technical difficulties getting their bid submitted, it is the buyer’s discretion to determine whether to extend the Sourcing Event.
PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT to get you bids in with plenty of time before the sourcing event close. We cannot guarantee that
IT support will be immediately available to help you, nor will we guarantee acceptance of any bids after the close date/time.
