This track walks the people inside a service-provider organization, contractors who quote labor, vendors who quote parts, the operators on each side of bidding and clarification, through how MBN works, in the order you'll actually encounter each part.
A service-provider organization on MBN is the side that receives tenders, submits binding bids, participates in clarifications, and accepts awards. That work is structurally different from publishing tenders as a vessel organization or overseeing a portfolio as a management company. This track teaches what reaches your inbox, who has authority to bid against it, and how the rest of the contract lifecycle works around you: all of it live today.
Work through them in order, Getting started, then Winning work. More lessons land as we write them.
Sign up, choose your capability, build your profile, assign your team's roles, keep Admin yourself or hand it to the owner, and submit for MBN officer review.
Who holds which authority: Admin, Commercial Manager, Sales, Project Manager, Finance, Field Technician, and the optional Co-Admin layer. What each does today, and what each gains at every milestone.
Your engineering categories and service regions are your entire pipeline: how vessels match tenders to you. How to set and tune them.
The three ways tenders reach you, email matching, the public marketplace, and your dashboard browse, and how to never miss one.
Build a structured, binding quote against a defined scope, pricing, charges, labour, and line items. Any team member can quote.
Attach your quote PDF and MBN reads it, line items, labour, warranty, and fills the bid for you, even waiving duplicate document uploads.
Provide the documents the vessel requires, warranty, insurance, license, by upload or by letting the parser detect them in your quote.
Ask a private question on the tender, and request a site visit before the deadline: request, propose, confirm.
Update a submitted quote in place while bidding's open, or withdraw it to free your slot for a fresh one.
The award reaches you, and a two-sided e-signature turns your winning quote into a governed contract.
Accept or decline a vessel's Preferred Market invitation within the 48-hour window, and bid privately.
What it means when a vessel invites you as a guest: quote via a private link with no account, and the limits that come with it.
Hold work you want to hand down the chain? Issue your own tender: the governed tender process, run from your seat.
How an awarded tender moves into a governed workroom on your side: milestone delivery, evidence submission, change-order proposals, commissioning declarations, warranty fulfillment.
The Roles lesson walks who holds which authority on your service-provider organization, what each role can do today on the live platform, and what each role gains at every milestone from the free trial through v2 in January 2027.
