An automated notification facility is integrated in the portal. The system automatically notifies all involved parties when a task has been completed, either at the end of the process or as further steps must be undertaken.

For example, the EU Funding & Tenders Portal notifies you about:

• The submission receipt (proof of submission of a tender/request to participate);
• The withdrawal receipt (proof of withdrawal of a tender/request to participate);
• The reception of invitation (invitation to submit a tender in subsequent rounds of a negotiated procedure).
• The evaluation result (award letter) for a specific contract under a FWC.
• Notifications concerning deliverables. 

Click on the bell icon on the upper right corner of the screen, under your name. A Notifications window opens and you get an overview of the unread notifications that you received.

The red circle indicates the number of unread notifications that you have and, when clicking on an item in the list, you open a specific notification. Once you have opened a specific notification, it will disappear from the unread notifications list and you will find it back after clicking on Manage notifications:

Click on Manage notifications at the bottom of the list to get into the Notifications section:

The notifications appear grouped under two tabs to ensure easy navigation between the different notifications :

• Under Generic, you find all the messages you receive from the different processes managed in the Portal, such as messages for validating data for a registered organisation, request to submit reports for your project, reminders to submit your proposal, assignment of a role etc. 
• Under Subscriptions, you find all messages informing of changes / updates in the pages where you have clicked on the Subscribed button (see Subscriptions for more details). You can not manage your subscriptions from this tab, but just retrieve the notifications sent to you by your subscribed items. 

The Preferences button allows you to customise the tool by choosing the frequency at which you wish to receive the notifications, depending on the priority and type of recipient (main or in copy). Click on Save to confirm your settings.

Regardless of your choices, all your notifications are always available in the section Content centre->Notifications:
